iLogic to Create User Parameters

al.popovich — Sat, 18 Feb 2023 23:59:48 GMT

Good evening, Friends,

Is there an iLogic code that can create user parameters when they don't exist in a part or assembly file?

A simple example would be a file that currently has no user parameters created. The iLogic would then create user parameters named pThickness, pWidth, and pLength. If those parameters already exist they would be skipped. For our use, these would be numeric parameters.

Thank You, Al

Here is two samples. Sample 1 is just repetition of the same code so time consuming if you have many parameters.

Sample 2&3 is using a for loop to work with list/string array. Less code and less errors changing variable names.

Sample 1:

'Get the document Dim Doc As Document = ThisDoc.Document 'Get the UserParameters collection. Dim userParams As UserParameters = Doc.ComponentDefinition.Parameters.UserParameters 'Set Paramter Name Dim ParamName1 As String = "pThickness" Dim ParamName2 As String = "pWidth" Dim ParamName3 As String = "pLength" 'Declare as parameter for later use Dim Param1,Param2,Param3 As UserParameter Try Param1 = userParams.Item(ParamName1) Catch 'Parameter not found, so create it. Param1 = userParams.AddByValue(ParamName1, 0, UnitsTypeEnum.kMillimeterLengthUnits) 'Param1.Value End Try Try Param2 = userParams.Item(ParamName2) Catch 'Parameter not found, so create it. Param2 = userParams.AddByValue(ParamName2, 0, UnitsTypeEnum.kMillimeterLengthUnits) 'Param2.Value End Try Try Param3 = userParams.Item(ParamName3) Catch 'Parameter not found, so create it. Param3 = userParams.AddByValue(ParamName3, 0, UnitsTypeEnum.kMillimeterLengthUnits) 'Param3.Value End Try

Sample:2 For loop with String Arrays.

'Get the document the rule is launched from. Dim Doc As Document = ThisDoc.Document 'Get the UserParameters collection. Dim userParams As UserParameters = Doc.ComponentDefinition.Parameters.UserParameters 'Declare as parameter for later use. Dim Param As UserParameter 'Set Paramter Name Method 2: 1-dimensional string array. Dim ParamList() As String = {"pThickness", "pWidth", "pLength" } For Each ParamName In ParamList Try Param = userParams.Item(ParamName) Catch 'Parameter not found, so create it. Param = userParams.AddByValue(ParamName, 0, UnitsTypeEnum.kMillimeterLengthUnits) 'Param.Value End Try Next

Sample:3 For loop with List Of String.

'Get the document the rule is launched from. Dim Doc As Document = ThisDoc.Document 'Get the UserParameters collection. Dim userParams As UserParameters = Doc.ComponentDefinition.Parameters.UserParameters 'Declare as parameter for later use. Dim Param As UserParameter 'Set Paramter Name Method 1: List Of String. Dim ParamList As New List(Of String) ParamList.Add("pThickness") ParamList.Add("pWidth") ParamList.Add("pLength") For Each ParamName In ParamList Try Param = userParams.Item(ParamName) Catch 'Parameter not found, so create it. Param = userParams.AddByValue(ParamName, 0, UnitsTypeEnum.kMillimeterLengthUnits) 'Param.Value End Try Next

Thank You very much. I will try these options on Monday at the office.

Best Regards, Al
