Try to update an Property via iLogic and Factory API
I try to update the Factory Properties with the real values of the specific instance, but this code it not doing that job. I get no error message, but the Factory Property of the Comments does not contains the correct value (it still has the values of the basic asset fresh out of the asset browser).
So, there must be a mistake, but where....
Dim Instanz As ComponentOccurrence = ThisApplication.CommandManager.Pick(SelectionFilterEnum.kAssemblyOccurrenceFilter, "Please select occurrence") Dim instancesToChange As New ArrayList For Each element In Autodesk.Factory.PublicAPI.API.Instance.GetAssetInstances(Layout) If element.InstanceName = Instanz.Name Then For Each grp In Element.PropertyGroups If (grp.Name = "Summary") Then For Each prop In grp.Properties If (prop.Name = "Comments") Then prop.Value = iProperties.Value(Instanz.Name, "Summary", "Comments").ToString End If Next End If Next instancesToChange.Add(Element) End If Next Dim arr2 = instancesToChange.ToArray(GetType(Autodesk.Factory.PublicAPI.Currency.v2.IAssetInstance)) Autodesk.Factory.PublicAPI.API.Instance.UpdateAssetInstances(Layout, arr2) iLogicVb.UpdateWhenDone = True

Same problem here. If i log my Custom Factory Property in the rule it gets the correct new Value! But it does not change in the Asset. Is it not possible via ILogic or is it necessary to use an different Method than:
"prop.Value = NewValue" ?

I talked with Autodesk at the AU in New Orleans this year and they told me it's not possible to update the Factory iproperties. The only thing you can update are the parameters.
The values will differ between what is written inside of the file iproperties and the Factory Properties. For me, that was some sort of relief, because I do not have to search through the API and the iLogic documentation to find a solution. Currently there is none. But Autodesk is aware of that and maybe there comes something in the future.
