iLogic Updating the iProperties Description Field

[jimm.motyka]

I created a rule, which updates two dimension parameters, which then is populated in the iProperties Description field.

iProperties.Value("Project", "Description") = Thickness & " X " & WIDTH & " X " & LENGTH

While it works as I expect it to, I would like the values to update automatically when the width and length are adjusted, rather than re-running the rule to get the values to update in the Description field.  Eliminating that step will eliminate the chance of error in the event that the rule isn't re-run.

I'm guessing it's something simple to add for this to happen, yet don't know how to get there.  Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you.

Two thoughts:

1. Set an iLogic trigger to run on geometry changes.  The rule should then run whenever you change and update the geometry.

2. Export the Length and Width dimensions to custom iProperties in the parameters window and then use an expression in the Description iProperty.  (=<Thickness> X <WIDTH> X <LENGTH>) or similar.

I will try that out and will (hopefully) post my success.  Thank you in advance.

Thank you!  It worked as I was expecting.
