Can't run rule

[j_weber]

Hello everyone,

I don't exactly understand the process

I use iLogic to create a parameter in a drawing and then fill it with a multi-list. Before doing this, I check whether the parameter exists in the drawing.

oUserParam = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument.Parameters.UserParameters

Try
	oKatType = oUserParam.Item("Kategorie")
Catch
	oKatType = oUserParam.AddByValue("Kategorie","Bauteil", UnitsTypeEnum.kTextUnits)
	MultiValue.SetList("Kategorie", "Bauteil", "Baugruppe", "Presantition", "Zeichnung")
End Try

InventorVb.DocumentUpdate()

This works quite well so far.

Then the current value in the Category parameter is to be written to an Inventor property.

iProperties.Value("Summary", "Category") = Kategorie

I then have a second rule, which could also be included directly in the first rule.

But when I execute the second rule, nothing happens at first. But if I go into the rule editor and back out with Save and Execute, the rule works as I want.

I've created a little screencast to show the situation.

I can't find a way to write the value directly into the property and use it.

Can someone perhaps give me a tip?

Hi Try this

iProperties.Value("Summary", "Category") = "Hi"
iLogicVb.UpdateWhenDone = True

Hi,

Change:

iProperties.Value("Summary", "Category") = Kategorie

On this:

oUserParam = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument.Parameters.UserParameters
Dim oKatValue As String 
Try
	Dim oKatParam As UserParameter = oUserParam.Item("Kategorie")
	oKatValue = oKatParam.Value
Catch
	MsgBox("Parameter not found!")
End Try


iProperties.Value("Summary", "Category") = oKatValue
