Connecting command created handler to command execute handler

Hi, I am new to fusion API and am trying to make a simple script that will take inputs from the user and output a propeller hub. I've been able to create the geometry and the dialog box but can't seem to connect the two together. I am using the work flow described on this page http://help.autodesk.com/view/fusion360/ENU/?guid=GUID-3922697A-7BF1-4799-9A5B-C8539DF57051 For some reason the user inputs do not connect to the geometry and no part is produced unless the values are defined in the Command Execute Handler. My code is posted below with the area of interest in green font. Any help or other examples of a UI customization would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
