Ilogic loop to excell problem

[Anonymous]

Hi InventorWizardz, 

I have a problem with the folowing script: 

Ivolume = iProperties.Volume/1000 '(in cm^3)GoExcel.CellValue("3rd Party:Embedding 2", "Blad1", "A2") = Ivolume
Parameter("HoogteVolumePercent") = 1
i = 1
If Parameter("HoogteVolumePercent") < 100 Then
    While (Parameter("HoogteVolumePercent") < 100)
        GoExcel.CellValue("3rd Party:Embedding 2", "Blad1", "C"&i) = Ivolume
        i = i + 1
        If i = 100 Then
            
            Exit While
        End If
    End While
End If
iLogicVb.UpdateWhenDone = True 

The purpose is to export the value of Ivolume at a certain percentage to an embedded Excel. But the when running this rule every cell has the same value.

I think Ilogic is writing the value after the completion of the rule. But I can't figue it out to get it to work.

In Attachements you can find a screenshot and the part (made in IV2013). 

Hope someone can help

The problem you have is that the Parameter is not changing the part and updating it while runing the rule. When you begin your rule with:

Parameter.UpdateAfterChange = True

the parameter is updated after a change.

Hi Rob, 

Before I posted my question, I also posted on the Autodesk General Discussions forum. My mistake 😉

Andrewiv rewrote the code, and used another solution. He declares the property Ivolume again.

This solution works perfect for me.  

Thanks for your suggestion !!

Ivolume = iProperties.Volume/1000 '(in cm^3)
GoExcel.CellValue("3rd Party:Embedding 2", "Blad1", "A2") = Ivolume

i = 1
If Parameter("HoogteVolumePercent") < 100 Then
	While (Parameter("HoogteVolumePercent") < 100)
		Parameter("HoogteVolumePercent") = i
		InventorVb.DocumentUpdate()
		Ivolume = iProperties.Volume/1000 '(in cm^3)
		GoExcel.CellValue("3rd Party:Embedding 2", "Blad1", "C"&i) = Ivolume
		i = i + 1
		If i = 100 Then
			
			Exit While
		End If
	End While
End If
iLogicVb.UpdateWhenDone = True
