Don't purge parameters only used in iLogic

[L.Greft]

If you use the "Purge Unused" button within the parameters it will give you a list with all unused parameters. But if a parameters is not used within sketches or features and only used in iLogic it will also be added to the list.

It would be nice if Inventor also recognizes parameters used within iLogic, so you don't delete those by accident.

Attached is an example part that shows the problem. The parameter "Holes" is only used in iLogic to turn the holes on or off, but the parameter does end up in the list if you click on "Purge Unused".

@L.Greft , when using "Purge Unused", no parameter can be purged using the data you provided. But it will be deleted when manually deleting the parameter "Holes". I am using Inventor 2022.

@Yijiang.Cai if I open the parameters and click on "Purge Unused" I does add holes to the list to be deleted, see image below. I also use Inventor 2021 (2021.3.1).

@L.Greft , sorry for the typo here. Yesterday I tried it in Inventor 2022.1 internal build, and no parameter can be purged. Today I re-try it again in Inventor 2021, and find that the parameter will be listed in the purge parameters dialog. 

We are currently working to enhance this functionality. You can access this from the Inventor Feedback Community. If you don’t already have access you can apply using http://Autode.sk/InventorBeta. Once you have access you will be able download the most recent pre-release build or try it virtually”.

It has been available in Inventor 2022.1, and please have a try.

Hello @Yijiang.Cai, sorry for the very late reply but I just saw it was implemented.

We are using Inventor 2021 at the company and we probably won't update to 2022 this year, so I don't have a chance to give it a try. 

Thank you for implementing it and when we will update to 2022 (or maybe to 2023 when it's released) I will give it a try.
