Trim parameter from Trailing zeros

Hello,

I have the same problem as this guy:

https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/inventor-customization/trim-parameter-values-for-trailing-zeros/td-p/5360379

I have a code to round up parameters with the unit "mm" to be whole numbers. This is important in our assets for the BOM list in the end. I use the following code:

Dim UserParams As UserParameters
UserParams = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument.ComponentDefinition.Parameters.UserParameters

For Each Item In UserParams
	 	If Item.Units = "mm" Then
			Item.Value = Ceil(Item.Value)
		End If
Next

This results in the parameters getting x,00000000 mm behind it. This is very confusing for the end user that uses the assets/parameters. How do i get rid of the zeroes?

Dim UserParams As UserParameters Dim p As Inventor.PartDocument = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument UserParams = p.ComponentDefinition.Parameters.UserParameters Dim item As Inventor.Parameter 'Ceil() For Each item In UserParams If item.Units = "mm" Then 'MsgBox (item.modelvalue) item.Value = Ceil(item.Value*10)/10 End If Next

@reggie.mostert

If you are using iLogic try the below code and see if this gives you the result you need.

Dim UserParams As UserParameters
UserParams = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument.ComponentDefinition.Parameters.UserParameters

For Each Item In UserParams
	 	If Item.Units = "mm" Then
			Dim x As Double = Ceil(Item.Value)
			 Parameter(Item.name) = x*10
		End If
Next
