Get CAM parameter value on a text box

pedro_babo — Tue, 28 Nov 2023 17:05:37 GMT

Im triyng to get the value one CAM parameter on a command input.

using

DiametroPeça =setup.parameters.itemByName('job_stockDiameter')

ComprmentPeça = '100'

# Create a simple text box input.

inputs.addTextBoxCommandInput('Diametro', 'Diametro da Peça', DiametroPeça.value.objectType, 1, True)

inputs.addTextBoxCommandInput('Comprimento', 'comprimento da Peça', ComprmentPeça, 1, True)

----

I get

<adsk.cam.CAMParameter; proxy of <Swig Object of type 'adsk::core::Ptr< adsk::cam::CAMParameter > *' at 0x000002294ACD6C70> >

how should I get the correct value.

I think this should do it. The value returned is a floating point value and is always in centimeters. You can convert it yourself to the unit of choice or use Fusion's Units of Measure functionality to help convert and format it. You might also consider using a ValueCommandInput instead of a TextBoxCommandInput because it will handle this automatically.

DiametroPeça = setup.parameters.itemByName('job_stockDiameter') paramValue = DiametroPeça.value.value # Create a simple text box input. inputs.addTextBoxCommandInput('Diametro', 'Diametro da Peça', f'{paramValue} cm', 1, True)

hi @BrianEkins ,

first thanks for the responce, I've ben beasy during the this time.

Ive implemented the code has you sogested but get

"Diametro da Peça nan cm"

on the form.

I sopose that nan is not a number. possibly a string.

what does f'{paramValue} do?

Hi -

Not sure if this helps, but the "job_stockDiameter" parameter will only be valid for "Fixed Cylinder" and "Fixed Tube" stock types. What is your setup using?

it works now with the code:

------------------

DiametroPeça =setup.parameters.itemByName('job_stockDiameter')

ValorParametroDiametro = UnitsMnger.formatInternalValue(DiametroPeça.value.value,UnitsMnger.defaultLengthUnits,True)

------------------------

then it can be showed on

------------------

inputs.addTextBoxCommandInput('Diametro', 'Diametro da Peça', f'{ValorParametroDiametro} ', 1, True)

------------------------------

thanks to @jeff.pek and @BrianEkins
