iLogic iProperties.Value type set to text

[Anonymous]

Hello, I'm new to iLogic and I need to create a rule that will read some iProperties values and save them as custom properties, with assigned name and value converted to text.

It's because I later must export this model to IFC (using 3rd party software) and my properties set as number (not all of them), are displayed in IFC model with many more decimal places (different unit) than that showed in iProperties tab in Inventor.

I'm using Inventor 2015

Here is a preview of my code:

dl = Round(SheetMetal.FlatExtentsWidth,0)
szer = Round(SheetMetal.FlatExtentsLength,0)
gr = Round(Parameter("Grubo��"),0)
volume = iProperties.Volume



If dl<szer Then
wym = szer
ElseIf szer<=dl Then
wym = dl
End If


vol = volume/1000000000
powi = vol/(gr/1000)

iProperties.Value("Custom", "O40 Areal [m2]") = powi
iProperties.Value("Custom", "O41 Volum [m3]") = vol
iProperties.Value("Custom", "O42 Lengde [mm]") = wym
iProperties.Value("Custom", "O43 Tykkelse [mm]") = gr
iProperties.Value("Custom", "O44 Profil") = iProperties.Value("Project", "Stock Number")

 Parameters O40 and O41 are those in question. O42 and O43 are exported as needed.

I suppose that saving a value as text would solve the problem of this strange conversion during export.

Have a nice day

I've found the solution by myself:) All I needed was to add 

CStr

in front of my property value.

So the code looks like this now (and does what was created for):

dl = Round(SheetMetal.FlatExtentsWidth,0)
szer = Round(SheetMetal.FlatExtentsLength,0)
gr = Round(Parameter("Grubo��"),0)
volume = iProperties.Volume



If dl<szer Then
wym = szer
ElseIf szer<=dl Then
wym = dl
End If


vol = volume/1000000000
powi = vol/(gr/1000)

iProperties.Value("Custom", "O40 Areal [m2]") = CStr(powi)
iProperties.Value("Custom", "O41 Volum [m3]") = CStr(vol)
iProperties.Value("Custom", "O42 Lengde [mm]") = CStr(wym)
iProperties.Value("Custom", "O43 Tykkelse [mm]") = CStr(gr)
iProperties.Value("Custom", "O44 Profil") = iProperties.Value("Project", "Stock Number")

You can also use

Parameter("powi").ToString
