C# Parameters

[dlegan]

Hello all. I have been looking to attach inventor parameters with C# code. Has anyone done anything like this yet? I am hoping to use a C# form with text box vales for an attached inventor model.

Thanks, David Legan

Hi,

The usage of C# and VB.NET on Parameter is not much different. Did you meet some problem, or just wanted to have some code to achieve a specific requirement. In any case, please elaborate thus it will helpful for the peers jump into. 

In addition, there are some samples of VB.NET in API help reference.

Hello and thank you for replying. We have been using an inventor model with a vba application. I was wanting to use a C# format with input boxes for the parameter values and then update the model.

For example: say parameter is par_Width

Input field is txt_Width

parwidth = value of txt_width.text

then update and save as needed

If I have the code to attach a parameter this way then I can attach the rest.

Thank you for your help.

frankly, this is very generic. If you just take a look at the basic of Paramter, you will not be much difficult to write something out. I would suggest you firstly have a look at our video toturial at

http://download.autodesk.com/media/adn/Autodesk_Inventor_API_Module2_Common_Document_Functionality_1...

where there is the introduction on how to use Paramter. In addition, the zip has one C# project which shows how to access , modify, add Parameter. I think it will be a good start to get familar with the topic.

If you meet specific problem, please post it.
