TopSolid API - Changing a parameter

[breddington]

Hi,

I'm new to API programmming. I want to write a program in Visual Basic that will change a parameter within TopSolid.

I've written the following code, and the first part of the program works, i.e, I can create a new parameter "rad" and it appears in the "Edit List". However, when I try to change the parameter using the "SetConvertedValue" command I get and error - "' Get Compile error Expected:=". Any body got any ideas as to what the problem is? Also is there any API training material available?

Thanks,

Bill

Dim TopDoc3D As TopSolid.Document
Dim TopParam As TopSolid.Parameter

Dim strName As String
Dim paramValue As Double

Set TopApp = New TopSolid.Application
Set TopDoc3D = TopApp.CurrentDocument ' TopDoc3D is the current file - Note File needs to be open

TopApp.Visible = True ' Show TopSolid if it is minimised

'create parameter
paramValue = 70
strName = "rad"
Set TopParam = TopDoc3D.Params.AddBasic(paramValue, "mm")

' set name to param
TopParam.Element.Name = strName ' rad = 30 appears in Edit list after this command

' to modify the value the parameter.
TopParam.SetConvertedValue(25, "mm")
' Get Compile error Expected:=

End Sub

I worked out the problem with my previous post in relation to changing the value of a paramter using an API.

A Dim statement for "TopSolid.Element" needs to be included at the start of the program before the use of the “SearchElementByName(strName)â€
