Creating and Accessing Parameters
Methods and Property Introduced:
In the VB API, models, features, surfaces, and edges inherit from the IpfcParameterOwner class, because each of the objects can be assigned parameters in Creo+.
The method
IpfcParameterOwner.GetParam() gets a parameter given its name.
The method
IpfcParameterOwner.ListParams() returns a sequence of all parameters assigned to the object.
To create a new parameter with a name and a specific value, call the method
IpfcParameterOwner.CreateParam().
To create a new parameter with a name, a specific value, and units, call the method
IpfcParameterOwner.CreateParamWithUnits().
The method
IpfcParameterOwner.SelectParam() allows you to select a parameter from the
Creo+ user interface. The top model from which the parameters are selected must be displayed in the current window.
The method
IpfcParameterOwner.SelectParameters() allows you to interactively select parameters from the
Creo+ Parameter dialog box based on the parameter selection options specified by the
IpfcParameterSelectionOptions object. The top model from which the parameters are selected must be displayed in the current window. Refer to the section
Parameter Selection Options for more information.
The property
IpfcFamColParam.RefParam returns the reference parameter from the parameter column in a family table.
