Mass format wrong in 3d PDF

[HLendorf]

Hello All,

Trying to build a new 3d template (using Kofax Power PDF - similar capabilities as Adobe Acrobat Pro).

A "header" has been made in the 3d PDF template to include std. header information as for a 2d PDF. 

Now stuck on the formatting of Mass using the following "Javascript": 

{{{ topComponent['Mass'] || "" }}}

Mass is grabbed ok by template from Inventor - however the decimal point is off by a factor of 3 - eg. Inventor (from properties) shows 0.023 kg, but this becomes 22.839484660076849 in the 3d PDF.

- Any ideas how to fix decimal point?

Maybe there is also a way to "round" up - just as Inventor does natively in the iProperties - Physical value listed.

I looked also at the Anark Core Static PDF Template reference listed in other threads - but can't really find anything specific - maybe from using syntax listed 🤔

PS. Basically it's a question to format the command  {{{ topComponent['Mass'] || "" }}}, as I also this to grab both the 'Description' and 'Part Number' - etc.

Included a few screenshots to help explain 😉

I will just answer this myself - as I managed to find solution.

The below script can be used to truncate and format the weight as needed in Inventor - as you can add value into a Custom iProperty. The downside is that you need to create a new ipt/iam template with this added custom iProperty - but works nicely 🙂

iProperties.Value("Custom", "massformat") = (Round(iProperties.Mass,3) & " kg")
InventorVb.DocumentUpdate()

I used the custom iProperty "massformat" - and this truncates the mass to 3 decimal points, and adds kg, so from above sample you now get correct 0,023 kg - in this case in the 3d PDF (generated by the Anark code and edited in Power PDF for updated template).

Hope this may also help others facing the same issue  😁
