iLogic code giving an error when executed

[Anonymous]

Hi, I have been writing a few routines to augment our system here, with great success. However, I have one iLogic routine that is giving me an error whenever I run it. Selecting continue allows it run as expected. Basically, it is to remind designers to set the material type to other than “Default”. Here is the code: Materialsddd = 0' deleted parameter materialName = ThisDoc.Document.ComponentDefinition.Material.Name If materialName = "Default" Then MultiValue.List("MName") = iProperties.Materials MName = InputListBox("Select Material", MultiValue.List("MName"), Mname, Title := "Select Type", ListName := "MM List") iProperties.Material = Mname iLogicVb.UpdateWhenDone = True The Parameter MName does exist as a mulitlist parameter. End If If someone could run their eyes over it and let me know how to fix this. Or, turn off the JIT error box? Much appreciated.

Your code is very confusing. Can you post it back with indentations and individual lines per code runs?

Thought initially would be to create a list of the proper materials you want normally using ilogic and using a Radio box list to select from.  I am assuming the material can be selected in iproproperties and populated into materials selection list?.

I attached a working version of your rule in the file SelectMaterials.txt

Inventor parameter names are case sensitive.  You had "Mname" instead of "MName" in a few places.

Thanks for the heads up. I really should have checked that first. But unfortunately, it still gives me the "unhandled exception" error. ????? Any ideas?

Can you post the part file?

What are the details of the error message?  If it has a More Info tab, please click on that and copy and paste the text here.  It might have some useful info.

Here's a better version of the rule.  This one will not throw an error if you to close the dialog without clicking OK.

Thanks, that works. But I still get the "undandled excetion" error dialog.

Here is an interesting tid bit. I changed the iLogic Form section that was running the rule “Material” from being an external rule on the server to a local rule saved within the document (part file) and all the errors disappeared….!

Interesting eh……Maybe a trap for young players?

I do believe I've fixed it. 

Thanks for all your help, appreciated.

Here's a version of your part containing the modified rule.  It should work OK.

I also attached a version of the rule that will work as an external rule.  In an external rule, you can't access a parameter such as MName directly as a variable.  You have to use the Parameter function, e.g. Parameter("MName").
