(Create/copy) Multivalue parameters with c# in inventor

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I want to copy a Multivalue Parameter from a document into another document using the c# API.

Until now I haven't found a way to copy the Parameter exactly as it is. So my next try is to create a new Parameter in the other document with the same properties as the Parameter in the first document, this approach works until I have to deal with Multivalue Parameters, because I can't create a Multivalue Parameter in c#.

To create a new Multivalue Parameter I'm trying to get the equivalent of MultiValue.SetList("PageSize", "A0", "A1", "A2", "A3", "A4") in c#

Thanks

There is a function SetExpressionList but it looks like its buged. (maby some one else can confirm that?)

In the following example i create a parameter and add a list. (when the ChangeCurrentValue boolean is set to true a exception will be thrown??) When that is done the parameter acts like it has a multivalue list. In the parameter overview there is now a dropdown menu but all values that where set are not there.

But when the i get the expression list again i get all values... (check the array newPaperSizeList )

PartDocument doc = (PartDocument)inventor.ActiveDocument;
string[] paperSizeList = { "PageSize", "A0", "A1", "A2", "A3", "A4" };
UserParameter parameter = doc.ComponentDefinition.Parameters.UserParameters.AddByValue("PaperSize", "qwe", UnitsTypeEnum.kTextUnits);
parameter.ExpressionList.SetExpressionList(paperSizeList, false, -1);

string[] newPaperSizeList = parameter.ExpressionList.GetExpressionLi

Thanks,

yes I get the same Problem as you, I can use SetExpressionList, if I query the ExpressionList I see there are Elements there but they aren't shown in Inventor.

I solved the Problem by using iLogic

string iLogicAddinGuid = "{3BDD8D79-2179-4B11-8A5A-257B1C0263AC}";
ApplicationAddIn addin = null;
Application inventorAplication = (Application)System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.GetActiveObject("Inventor.Application");addin = inventorAplication.ApplicationAddIns.get_ItemById(iLogicAddinGuid);
// activate the addin
if (!addin.Activated)
	addin.Activate();
Autodesk.iLogic.Automation.iLogicAutomation _iLogicAutomation = (Autodesk.iLogic.Automation.iLogicAutomation)addin.Automation;
_iLogicAutomation.set_ParamMultiValues((Document)drawDoc, paramName, expressions);
