Linking text parameters leads to dependency loop: Bug in Inventor 2024?

[yaroqwert]

I want to link a text parameter from one file to an other - but this works only as long as no linked numeric parameter is used in an extrusion. Once a numeric parameter from that file is used in an extrusion, Inventor gets in a (non existing) dependency loop.

To reproduce this, I created a minimal example (attached):

parameters.iam  has parameter simple_param and text_param

test_part.ipt uses simple_param in an extrusion

trying to link text_paral leads to a dependency loop.

Is it really a bug or am I using it in a wrong way?

I tried to set the parameter via iLogic and also got into a dependency loop.
Is there a workaround?

Also in 2025. I have tested indeed..

When you use the derive method this will work:

Hi, thanks for the reply!
Speaking in the terms of the example you suggest to derive test_part.ipt from parameters.iam, right? This way I get all parameters into test_part.ipt, not only selected ones. I think thats a valid workaround, but not an ideal one.
Is there maybe an other workaround?

[yaroqwert]

I found the following workaround:
In parameters.iam I add a rule that saves the text parameter to an excel file and in test_part.ipt I added a rule that loads the parameter from the excel file. I added a trigger that executes the rule on save. That's far from ideal, but it works.

You can still select each parameter separately.
