Access mass from user parameters?

[nbonnett-murphy]

Is there a way to get mass into user parameters? I want to do some math with dimensions and the mass, then set another dimension based on the result.

I'm sure it's possible with iLogic, but I'd prefer to avoid that in this case since it's a one-off thing.

iLogic is probably the only way, but it would be very simple iLogic code.  Something like:

Mass_Param = iProperties.Mass
iLogicVb.UpdateWhenDone = True

So just two lines of code, and the second one is just eliminating the need to click Update again after the code runs.  You would probably want to set a trigger for "Part Geometry Change," but "Any Model Parameter Change" would probably also work.

Hi! Inventor mass property is a text-based property. It isn't a parameter. You will need to use an iLogic rule to get the mass property and do the math with other parameters.

Many thanks!
