iLogic fractions

[Jam_Jumpin]

I have a dialogue box that asks the user for a size. It only accepts decimals, is there a way to get it to accept fractions?

FT=th
FT = InputBox("Enter face thickness", "Face thickness", "3/16")
th=FT

Hi,

I got this feedback:

>>>>>

You can use one of the parameter-related functions from the Inventor API to do it:

Dim FT As Double = 3/16

Dim FTstring As String = InputBox("Enter face thickness", "Face thickness", "3/16")

If (Not String.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(FTstring)) Then

FT = ThisApplication.UnitsOfMeasure.GetValueFromExpression(FTString, UnitsTypeEnum.kUnitlessUnits)

End If

MessageBox.Show("Face thickness = " & Round(FT,6), "Test")

Cheers,

Thanks a lot! I will try this.

I'm so glad iLogic is so easy to use!
