Ilogic to copy .dwg balloon override value to assembly/part instance value IV2022

[cameron.florenceJMGNL]

Hi

I need to make a rule that copies the balloon override values of assembly parts in a .dwg to the new part instance property, available in IV2022.  I have been learning to write basic ilogic for a while now but am not at the level where I can sort this one out. 🤔

Any help would be amazing.

Cheers

Hi @cameron.florenceJMGNL 

Try running this code in your drawing document to set the instance property "Balloon value" for all occurrences with balloons attached to them 🙂

Dim oDoc As DrawingDocument = ThisDrawing.Document
For Each oSheet As Sheet In oDoc.Sheets
	For Each oBalloon As Balloon In oSheet.Balloons
		Dim oVal As String
		If oBalloon.BalloonValueSets(1).Static 'Check if value is overridden
			oVal = oBalloon.BalloonValueSets(1).OverrideValue
		Else
			oVal = oBalloon.BalloonValueSets(1).Value
		End If
		'Get the occurrence the balloon is attached to
		Dim Leader As Leader = oBalloon.Leader
		Dim oLeaderNode As LeaderNode = Leader.AllNodes(2)
		Dim oIntent As GeometryIntent = oLeaderNode.AttachedEntity
		Dim oCurve As DrawingCurve = oIntent.Geometry
		Dim oProx As EdgeProxy = oCurve.ModelGeometry
		Dim oOcc As ComponentOccurrence = oProx.ContainingOccurrence

		'Set the instance property "Balloon value"
		oOcc.OccurrencePropertySetsEnabled = True
		Try
			oOcc.OccurrencePropertySets.Item(1).Add(oVal, "Balloon value")
		Catch
			oOcc.OccurrencePropertySets.Item(1).Item("Balloon value").Value = oVal
		End Try
	Next
Next

Thanks for taking the time to share the code above. Not sure if I did something wrong but, I did get some different varying results that didn't match my overridden balloon values. I got an instance value of 10 when the override balloon value was C12, but appreciate your help so far. 

Anyway, after giving my problem some more thought, I think it would be better to assign the instance value for my parts from a different source, rather than the overridden balloon value. What would actually be ideal, is to get the electrical tag number from .ipt parts in an electrical .iam assembly, and then assign that number/tag to the instance iProperty of the part.

If anyone has the capability to write some code to do this, it would be so helpful.

Thanks
