Hi everyone
I want to add a Custom Iproperty looking like this
Right now I'm using this code but it just adds the Iproperty and uses the current appearance.
iProperties.Value("Custom", "Color")=iProperties.PartColor
The value should change when the color changes.
Therefore the value should be =<Appearance>
I can't figure out how I can add this value using Ilogic.
Can anyone help me update the code?
Can't find it on trusty google.
Thanks in advance!

Hi @J.VandeMerckt. Try this:
iProperties.Value("Custom", "Color") = "=<Appearance>"It just so happens that there is a standard iProperty already named "Appearance" near the end of the third PropertySet, which makes this work, because otherwise you would have to have a custom iProperty named Appearance, then have a way to keep its value up to date every time the appearance changed. And there is no event in the Event Triggers dialog for only changing the appearance of a part, but there is one for changing its material.

Below are two different ways to access the standard iProperty, so that you do not even need to create the custom one.
Dim sAppearance1 As String = iProperties.Value("Project", "Appearance")
Logger.Info("Appearance 1 = " & sAppearance1)
Dim sAppearance2 As String = ThisDoc.Document.PropertySets.Item(3).Item("Appearance").Value
Logger.Info("Appearance 2 = " & sAppearance2)When I ran that rule on my part, the results in my iLogic Log window were as follows (which was correct, and stayed up to date):
INFO| 3: >>---------------------------
INFO|Appearance 1 = Dark Gray
INFO|Appearance 2 = Dark Gray
