iLogic Custom iProperty not updating

[L.Greft]

Hello, I've made a rule in an assembly that updates a custom property within a part. Depending on the parameter "RESTMAAT" one of the parts custom property is updated. The first time when I change a parameter in the assembly the parameter gets updated, but the property doesn't update. If I run the rule again then the property also updates.

What do I have to change in my rule so the property updates the first time the rule is run?

If RESTMAAT <= 50 Then
	If RESTMAAT = 0 Then
		ZAAGMAAT = 0
	Else
		ZAAGMAAT = Floor(23 + Sqrt(2) * RESTMAAT) + 0.99
	End If
	
	iProperties.Value("BA50rs", "Custom", "ISAH-Memo") = FormatAsFraction(ZAAGMAAT, 2)
	
ElseIf RESTMAAT > 50 Then
	If RESTMAAT = 0 Then
		ZAAGMAAT = 0
	Else
		ZAAGMAAT = Floor(8 + Sqrt(2) * RESTMAAT) + 0.99
	End If
	
	iProperties.Value("BA70rs", "Custom", "ISAH-Memo") = FormatAsFraction(ZAAGMAAT, 2)

End If

Morning,

First, in the case where RESTMAAT is greater than 50, I don't see how it could be 0, so I'd remove the if/else statement there.

Next I'd move the iProperty.Value out of the statements, after the parameter is set.

Like so :

If RESTMAAT <= 50 Then
	
	If RESTMAAT = 0 Then
		ZAAGMAAT = 0
	
	Else
		ZAAGMAAT = Floor(23 + Sqrt(2) * RESTMAAT) + 0.99
	
	End If
	

	
ElseIf RESTMAAT > 50 Then

		ZAAGMAAT = Floor(8 + Sqrt(2) * RESTMAAT) + 0.99
	


End If

iProperties.Value("BA50rs", "Custom", "ISAH-Memo") = FormatAsFraction(ZAAGMAAT, 2)

Maybe this does the trick ?

Thank you for your reply @FINET_Laurent.

RESTMAAT = 0 (if RESTMAAT > 50) was just an example, but a bad example (this line doesn't matter though).

If RESTMAAT <= 50 then the property of the part "BA50rs" is set. If RESTMAAT > 50 then the property of the part "BA70rs" is set. So I have to include the iProperty.Value within the statements.

[FINET_Laurent]

Indeed , my mistake.

Can you check the in the option tab of the rule if the rule is run automaticaly ?

[L.Greft]

It runs automatically

[FINET_Laurent]

Interestring, I don't have a clue why this doesn't work..

A work around whould be to fire the rule each time you change a parameter, using for instance Triggers ? This is easy to do. Are you familiar witht those ?

[L.Greft]

I am familiar with Triggers, but I prefer not to use them. The model that includes this code will be used next month, so for now I will wait (and hope) for another solution, otherwise I will use the trigger.

Forgot to mention in my first post, I use Inventor 2019.

[FINET_Laurent]

I'dd still pull the iproperty.Value out of the if statement.

or maybe add a document update right before changing the iproperty value ?

@FINET_Laurent  Maybe you should modify the code. This code has to run from assembly, right @L.Greft ? 

[L.Greft]

Indeed, it has to run from the assembly @Anonymous
