I have a problem I'm trying to solve. Sadly, I should have posted this weeks ago, because now I'm likely to have to force a workaround. My problem is that I have created a multi-value parameter that I need to change through code. Based on this value, I have a rule that fires that controls all of my formulas. Through code I can push the correct "string" value into this multi-value parameter, but CATIA doesn't see it as the correct multi-value selection. Therefore the rule won't fire, and while CATIA displays the "correct string", it still thinks I have the original option selected. If that doesn't make sense, I have:
Parameter (with two values): UseEquations
Value 1: Basic
Value 2: Advanced
Value 3: Expert
The part is saved with Value1, so CATIA would show:
UseEquations = Basic
Through VB i push in the string "Advanced", update, and save the part.
When I view the part I will see:
UseEquations = Advanced
However, if i select the dropdown menu, instead of having the section option actually selected, it still has option one selected, and will reselect option one. Furthermore, even with the parameter showing "Advanced" CATIA still sees option one and does not update based on my advanced rule. Can I pass Item(2) to CATIA for multi-value parameters instead of ValuateAsString? How else do I get around this? The idea is that users can change this through code OR after code execution. For now I'll have to change it from multi-value to single value and just disallow users to change it. Thanks for any insight. |
