divide per 2 the surfaceArea

[RUDYBERGAMO]

Hello, I would like to show in the bom the half surface of the parts, just for an estimation of materials. I already have in the bom the Area:

iProperties.Value("Custom", "Area")= iProperties.Area

but how is it possible to create a custom properties that divided it per 2? I have tried some ways but i cant reach the result..

Thank you so much.

Hello, Here I show you an example of how to capture the Area / 2 parameter in a custom Iproperty.
First you must create a user parameter that has the value that you will expose as custom iproperty, and then create an ilogic rule, with an event that activates each change of parameter of the document or each change of geometry of the part

Surf = iProperties.Area / 2

iLogicVb.UpdateWhenDone = True
InventorVb.DocumentUpdate()

 I hope it is useful for you. regards
