iLogic Degree Minute Second format for Parameter

Anonymous
Not applicable

I am trying to have iLogic change the custom property format for my user parameters.  I am able to work with linear measurements, but I would like to also work with angular measurements.  I want my angular units to be "Degrees" the format to be "Deg-Min-Sec" and the precision to be DD MM.

 

Below is my code to change the units to deg, but I can't change the format or precision:

 

 Dim oPartDoc As PartDocument
    oPartDoc = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument
    Dim oParameter As Parameter
    Dim oFormat As CustomPropertyFormat
   
   
    For Each oParameter In oPartDoc.ComponentDefinition.Parameters.UserParameters
       
        oFormat = oParameter.CustomPropertyFormat 'set the parameter as a custom property
        oParameter.ExposedAsProperty = True 'export the parameter as an iProperty
 oFormat.PropertyType = Inventor.CustomPropertyTypeEnum.kTextPropertyType 'set the custom iProperty as a text type
       
        oFormat.Units = "deg" 'sets the unit type.   
       
Next oParameter

It's in the .Precision setting:

 

kDegreesAnglePrecision

kMinutesAnglePrecision

kSecondsAnglePrecision 

 

Will set format to Deg-Min-Sec

 

Dim oPartDoc As PartDocument = ThisDoc.Document
Dim oParameter As Parameter
	For Each oParameter In oPartDoc.ComponentDefinition.Parameters.UserParameters
		Dim oFormat As CustomPropertyFormat = oParameter.CustomPropertyFormat 
		oParameter.ExposedAsProperty = True 'export the parameter as an iProperty
		oFormat.PropertyType = Inventor.CustomPropertyTypeEnum.kTextPropertyType 
		oFormat.Units = "deg" 
		' When you set the precision it will change to Deg-Min-Sec
		oFormat.Precision = Inventor.CustomPropertyPrecisionEnum.kDegreesAnglePrecision
		oFormat.Precision = Inventor.CustomPropertyPrecisionEnum.kMinutesAnglePrecision
		oFormat.Precision = Inventor.CustomPropertyPrecisionEnum.kSecondsAnglePrecision
	Next oParameter

For the Degree and minutes I only see one option from the API, but seconds has:

 

kSecondsOneDecimalPlaceAnglePrecision

kSecondsTwoDecimalPlaceAnglePrecision

kSecondsThreeDecimalPlaceAnglePrecision

kSecondsFourDecimalPlaceAnglePrecision
