Use a Parameter to insert a stamp

[Daniel.buzinari]

Hi,

Would it be possible to export a Drawing Parameter to the iProperties, so that I could use it as a status stamp on a drawing? I can add Custom iProperties on my text, but not Parameters.

Also, would it be possible to create an iLogic rule so the property exported is the latest revision filled up on the form?

Many thanks

Form with a drop-down list

User Parameters are created on the idw template that is consumed by the form above. Could a rule also pick the latest revision? Like, run a query from 1 to 4 and pick the latest that has been defined. 

Can I then convert the Parameter to Custom iProperty or is there a way to use parameters here?

The final result should be, which will change depending on the Rev Description selected.

If you check 'export' in the parameter window next to your parameter, it will make a custom iProperty for you so you can use that.

Actually, do you mean the parameter is in the drawing parameter window?

Sorry that's different there is no export option in there.

Hi James, 

Yeah, I used that on other models/forms, but it looks like the export option is only available on the ".iam" files, this ".idw" doesn't give me the option to export.

But I will try to create a new one and check if this template is the issue.

Okay, nothing wrong with the template then.

You could use something like this to do it through iLogic. 

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

Thanks James, I'll give it a try. 🙂
