Multiple parts mass precision

[hEINSTEIN]

Hi I am trying to write a ilogic code that will set the part precion to zero. I have a bunch of parts that shows 3 decimals and the rest are showing none, I need to change them all to 0.

I tried this code:

' iLogic rule to change linear dimension display to 0 in Document Settings

Dim oDoc As Document = ThisDoc.Document

' Open Document Settings
oDoc.Settings.EditDocumentSettings()

' Switch to Units tab
Dim oDialog As PropertyManagerDialog = oDoc.Settings.GetPropertyManagerDialog()
oDialog.GetControl("UnitsTab").Select()

' Set linear dimension display to 0
oDoc.Settings.GeneralOptions.ModelingDimensionDisplay = 0

' Save and close Document Settings
oDoc.Settings.Save()
oDoc.Settings.Close()

But I get this erro line.

Hi @hEINSTEIN 

Just curious as to how this code came about? The inventor API doesn’t list settings as a method see help page here for part document.

Can you supply an image of what settings your trying to change in the User Interface? I suspect you want to get to the units of measure but it’s only a guess at this stage.

Hi this is the setting I want to change for all my parts.

Very creative code.

Please read the API help to find what's available.

You can set it with:

UnitsOfMeasure.LengthDisplayPrecision = 0

Changing that setting only affect that part.  It won't change any assembly or drawing.

You can open Templates and change it there if you want it in all new files.

Hi, try this code.

Dim oDoc As Document = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument
        Dim oUm As UnitsOfMeasure = oDoc.UnitsOfMeasure

        ' Get the current length units.
        Dim eLengthUnits As UnitsTypeEnum = oUm.LengthUnits

        oUm.LengthUnits = UnitsTypeEnum.kMillimeterLengthUnits
        oUm.LengthDisplayPrecision = 0
