Deleting User Parameters in Assy impossible!

[Martin-Winkler-Consulting]

Hi, in additon to this old Thread i created now this new one. Please also have a look at the last post i wrote at the old Thread.

In the attached Assembly there a 4 User Parameter that couldn't be deleted!!

To be shure that there is nothing they could depend on i delete all Parts, User iProperties etc.

So its a "nacked" assembly. I am not understanding why this Parameters are InUse and so couldn't be deleted.

This is not the only assembly this happened.

Any ideas about this?

Hi @Martin-Winkler-Consulting

I have looked into the Assembly and i got why it couldn't be deleted.

The Property of "InUse = True" for all the 4 existing userparameters in that assembly.

I have created a new userparameter also and checked by default it was false only and able to delete it.

I don't know how it turned on to True and how to turn it in to false. But if we can turn it in to false we can delete it 🙂

Create a new userparameter and check the property with the below code.

Dim Param As Parameter

Dim i As Integer
 
i = 1
 
For Each Param In ThisApplication.ActiveDocument.ComponentDefinition.Parameters.UserParameters
 
MsgBox (ThisApplication.ActiveDocument.ComponentDefinition.Parameters.UserParameters.Item(i).Name & " - " & ThisApplication.ActiveDocument.ComponentDefinition.Parameters.UserParameters.Item(i).InUse)
 
i = i + 1
 
Next

Hi B.Sharan Raj

thanks for your answer. Thats exactly what i figured out too. The InUse Proerty was set to True by Inventor and i could not understand why.

Because the InUse Proerty is a read only property there is no way to change it with the API and so deleting is impossible.
