Use iLogic to Change Units of a Parameter

[Anonymous]

I have a user parameter that will sometimes be in inches and sometimes in square inches based on the type of part it is. I want to make a rule that will change the unit type of this one parameter from "in" to "in^2" or vise versa based on certain conditions. What is the iLogic code I can use to change the parameter unit type?

'Get the Parameters Object. Assumes a Part or Assembly document as active
Dim oParams As parameters
oParams = ThisDoc.Document.ComponentDefinition​.Parameters

'Get the Parameter required
Dim oParamName As Parameter
oParamName = oParams.Item("d0") 'Replace d0 with the name of your parameter

'Change the units of parameter
If condition = 1 Then
      oParamName.Units = "in"
Else
      oParamName.Units = "in^2"
End If
