iLogic Arraylist acting strange

[meck]

I have a simple multivalue list variable, but when I try to get the data from the list it loops through the first text in the list return each letter in the word. Example: If the first text in the multivalue list variable is "Hello" when looping through the list I get "H' then "e" then "l" ... and it never goes to the second item in the list.

Here is the simple loop right from standard sinppets..

For Each oval in MyVariableHere
MsgBox(oval)
Next

Could you post a sample part where this is happening? I can't replicate it in my 2013..

It's not a part it is a Inventor .dwg. It does it in the standard .dwg that comes with Inventor.

Could you post the code (and the parameters needed to run it)?

Below is the code. sText is a multi-value parameter. Attached is an example. Regenerate the rule "Test".

For Each oval in sText

    MsgBox(oval)

Next

Ah, OK I see what is happening.

The variable your using in the For Each loop (sText) is returning the current String value for that parameter, not a list. (and looping through a string will return each character)

Instead of 'sText' you need to pass in the 'List' of values - replace :

For Each oval in sText

with

For Each oval in MultiValue.List("sText")

Hope that helps,

Tom

That was easy. Thanks!
