adding unitless user parameter with API

[pludikar]

Hi,

in the standard UI, when you add a user parameter, there's a drop down for units.  At the top of the list is "No Units" - with this option you can create a unitless parameter, and it works.

Unless I'm missing something, there doesn't seem to be a way to create a unitless parameter in the API.  

userParams = self.design.userParameters

dValIn = adsk.core.ValueInput.createByReal(10.0)

dParameter = userParams.add('unitLessParameter',dValIn, self.design.unitsManager.defaultLengthUnits, '')

unitsManager doesn't seem to have the "no Units" option.  Am I missing something,  or is this an oversight in the API?

Regards

Peter

Hi Peter,

try:

paramUnit = ''

userParams.add(paramName, paramValue, paramUnit, paramComment)

D’oh. I tried that before I posted, but I was getting an error.  Anyway, tried it again today, and it works.  Thanks. 

I must have been tired and/or frustrated.  I usually manage to work these simple things out on my own.
