parameters into Iproperties drawing BOM

[timorobinson]

I'm trying to create my parameters ( length, height and length) in the part file and have the Iproperties update in my drawing.

I can get the Iproperies to show in my BOM but if i change the dim's to fractions and they don't update in my BOM?

@timorobinson Would it be possible for you to provide our teams with a sample assembly with your code?

Thank you.

@timorobinson - can you post the part and drawing?

[timorobinson]

Will do

I think you can do it without iLogic. In the iProperties dialog, you can use an expression for the Description property. To edit an expression, type an equals sign at the start. That will put you in expression-editing mode. Here's a sample expression:

and the result:

I can get the values to show up in my BOM but they won't switch between decimals and fractions

[MjDeck]

I'm not sure how you want to switch them between decimals and fractions, but here's a sample part that will do it based on the value of a True/False parameter named FractionalExpressions. Please try it out.
Note: this won't change the expressions in the Parameters dialog. It only changes the iProperty expressions. That's the most important thing for the drawing.
This is set up to format the values down to 1/16 inch. You can change it to 1/32, 1/64, or even 1/128.
