Add parameter to drawing file through ilogic

[johnster100]

Hi there,

I'm trying to add some user parameters to a Inventor .dwg file through ilogic. I'd like to be able to add user parameter some of which will be string and some will be numbers.

I can't seem to find any help on the web or on the forums for this.

Could someone help me please?

thanks,

John

Hi John,

You can add a user text parameter like this.

If you want it to be a multi-value parameter you'll need to create a new arraylist and add the arraylist itself as the value of the new parameter (replacing "InitialValue" in the example below:

Regards,

Luke

Dim oDrawDoc As DrawingDocument = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument
Dim oDrawParams As UserParameters = oDrawDoc.Parameters.UserParameters

Dim TestParam As UserParameter = oDrawParams.AddByValue("TestParam" , "InitialValue", UnitsTypeEnum.kTextUnits)

Great tip. But how can we delete it or rename it?

Like this:

Dim oDoc As Document = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument
Dim oParams As UserParameters = oDoc.Parameters.UserParameters

Dim TestParam As UserParameter = oParams.Item("TestParam")
TestParam.Expression = "NewText"
TestParam.Name = "NewName"
TestParam.Delete()
