iLogic to create custom iproperty

[dschleede]

I use the following ilogic code to calculate mass of a part or assembly and display it without the "lbs" or "kgs" label.  I am wondering what else I need to add to export the parameter as a custom iproperty.  Please excuse me if this is a dumb question; I am just learning iLogic.

SyntaxEditor Code Snippet

Dim openDoc As Document
openDoc = ThisDoc.Document

'KG
If openDoc.unitsofmeasure.massunits = 11283 Then
conversion_factor_lbs = 2.20462
conversion_factor_kgs = 1.0
End If

'grams
If openDoc.unitsofmeasure.massunits = 11284 Then
conversion_factor_lbs = 0.0022046
conversion_factor_kgs = 0.001
End If

'slugs
If openDoc.unitsofmeasure.massunits = 11285 Then
conversion_factor_lbs = 32.1740486
conversion_factor_kgs = 14.5939029
End If

'lbs
If openDoc.unitsofmeasure.massunits = 11286 Then
conversion_factor_lbs = 1.0
conversion_factor_kgs = 0.4535924
End If

Mass_lbs = iProperties.Mass * conversion_factor_lbs
Mass_kgs = iProperties.Mass * conversion_factor_kgs

If Mass_lbs < 1 Then
Weight_lbs = Round(Mass_lbs,2)
Else If Mass_lbs >= 1 Then
Weight_lbs = Round(Mass_lbs)
End If

If Mass_kgs < 1 Then
Weight_kgs = Round(Mass_lbs,2)
Else If Mass_kgs >= 1 Then
Weight_kgs = Round(Mass_kgs)
End If

Hi,

inside the Ilogics editor you will find this piece of code which can be used to add/change a custom Iproperty.

iProperties.Value("Custom", "PropertyName") = 100

I know it's an old post but still....

If you try to set a non-existent custom iproperty IV will automaticaly add that property?
How does it define the property? As text? Because there are several types to choose from when adding a custom field from the iproperty window.
