iLogic: create unitless user parameter

[b.graaf]

I am able to create text parameters and true/false parameters with Inventor iLogic.

I am using some code like this:

_parameter.AddByValue("Parameter name", "Parameter Value", "TEXT")

or

_parameter.AddByValue("Boolean name", "True", "BOOLEAN")

Maybe it is a dumb question, but how can I add a unitless user parameter?

Dim a As PartDocument
Set a = ThisDocument
Dim b As Parameters
Set b = a.ComponentDefinition.Parameters
b.UserParameters.AddByExpression "Piet", "100", "ul"

Tnx, that did the trick!

Hello, is there more to the above code, it's not working on my end.

Hi @timothy_berg, the previous solution was written in VBA, here's an iLogic example.

Hope that helps,

This version will work for models

iLogicVb.UpdateWhenDone = True

Dim oDoc As Document = ThisDoc.Document
Dim oParams As Parameters = oDoc.ComponentDefinition.Parameters
Dim oName As String = "Test999"
Try
	oParam = oParams.UserParameters.Item(oName)
Catch
	oParam = oParams.UserParameters.AddByExpression(oName, 0, "ul")
End Try

oParam.value = 999

This version will work for drawings

iLogicVb.UpdateWhenDone = True

Dim oDoc As Document = ThisDoc.Document
Dim oParams As Parameters = oDoc.Parameters
Dim oName As String = "Test999"
Try
	oParam = oParams.UserParameters.Item(oName)
Catch
	oParam = oParams.UserParameters.AddByExpression(oName, 0, "ul")
End Try

oParam.value = 999

that works, thank you sir!

I tried changing the code to add a true false parameter

Dim oDoc As Document = ThisDoc.Document
Dim oParams As Parameters = oDoc.ComponentDefinition.Parameters
Dim oName As String = "COL2"
Try
	oParam = oParams.UserParameters.Item(oName)
Catch
	oParam = oParams.UserParameters.AddByValue(oName, "True", "BOOLEAN")
End Try
oParam.value = COL2

didn't work, please let me know how to fix it, Thanks.

UserParameters.AddByValue(oName, True, kBooleanUnits)
