ilogic if statement condition being ignored???

[ilotey]

Hi,

I have the following code to clean up iProperties in idw files.

    If ThisDoc.Document.documenttype=12292 Then
		doc = ThisDrawing.ModelDocument
		iProperties.Value("Project", "Revision Number") = doc.PropertySets.Item(1).Item("Revision Number").Value
		iProperties.Value("Project", "Part Number")= ""
		iProperties.Value("Project", "Description")= ""
		iProperties.Value("Summary", "Title")=""
		iProperties.Value("Summary", "Subject")=""
		iProperties.Value("Summary", "Author")=""
		iProperties.Value("Project", "Project")= ""
		iProperties.Value("Project", "Designer")= ""
		iProperties.Value("Project", "Engineer")= ""
		iProperties.Value("Project", "Authority")= ""
		iProperties.Value("Project", "Cost Center")= ""
		iProperties.Value("Project", "Creation Time")= #1/1/1601#
		iProperties.Value("Status", "Status")=""
		iProperties.Value("Status", "Checked By")=""
		iProperties.Value("Status", "Checked Date")= #1/1/1601# 
		iProperties.Value("Status", "Engr Approved By")=""
		iProperties.Value("Status", "Engr Date Approved")=#1/1/1601# 
		iProperties.Value("Status", "Mfg Approved By")=""
		iProperties.Value("Status", "Mfg Date Approved")=#1/1/1601# 
	End If

For some reason, when this code runs, it always trys to execute the doc=ThisDrawing.ModelDocument, regardless of whether or not the IF statment condition is true.  I have no idea what is wrong here.

I am running Inventor 2012, SP2

Thank you for your help.

Hi ilotey,

I think you want the second line to read:

doc = ThisDoc.ModelDocument

rather than:

doc = ThisDrawing.ModelDocument

This snippet seems to work for me:

 If ThisDoc.Document.documenttype=12292 Then
        doc = ThisDoc.ModelDocument
        iProperties.Value("Project", "Revision Number") = _
        doc.PropertySets.Item(1).Item("Revision Number").Value
        iProperties.Value("Project", "Part Number")= ""
        iProperties.Value("Project", "Description")= ""
        iProperties.Value("Summary", "Title")=""
        iProperties.Value("Summary", "Subject")=""
        iProperties.Value("Summary", "Author")=""
        iProperties.Value("Project", "Project")= ""
        iProperties.Value("Project", "Designer")= ""
        iProperties.Value("Project", "Engineer")= ""
        iProperties.Value("Project", "Authority")= ""
        iProperties.Value("Project", "Cost Center")= ""
        iProperties.Value("Project", "Creation Time")= #1/1/1601#
        iProperties.Value("Status", "Status")=""
        iProperties.Value("Status", "Checked By")=""
        iProperties.Value("Status", "Checked Date")= #1/1/1601# 
        iProperties.Value("Status", "Engr Approved By")=""
        iProperties.Value("Status", "Engr Date Approved")=#1/1/1601# 
        iProperties.Value("Status", "Mfg Approved By")=""
        iProperties.Value("Status", "Mfg Date Approved")=#1/1/1601# 
    End If

I hope this helps.
Best of luck to you in all of your Inventor pursuits,

Thanks Curtis, that seems to have worked.

But why does Inventor try to evaluate ThisDrawing.ModelDocument even though the IF condition is not satisified?
