How to get value in CAD Parameters to python variable?

Lukas

Hello,

can you help me to get value of highlighted parameter to python variable? Thank you

For properties that are not directly exposed in the API, there is a general work around that often works. In the example below I get the property based on its caption string. You can then get either the InternalValue, or the StringValue and often convert to a usable variable based on simple logic.

Geometry=ExtAPI.DataModel.Project.Model.Geometry
PropCaption = "Import Facet Quality"
for Prop in Geometry.VisibleProperties:
    if Prop.Caption==PropCaption:
        break
MyProp = Prop
print MyProp.InternalValue
print MyProp.StringValue

@Mike.Thompson thank you for your feedback. I tried this way but somehow it returnes wrong value. I was searching for while and figured out it returns value of standart deviation of mesh insted of my CAD Parameter? What do you suspect here?

Geometry=ExtAPI.DataModel.Project.Model.Geometry

PropCaption = "Part1:pleat_thickness"

name=[]

for Prop in Geometry.VisibleProperties:

  if Prop.Caption==PropCaption:

    break

MyProp = Prop

print MyProp.InternalValue

print MyProp.StringValue

print(Prop.name)

It returns this no matter what string I put to PropCaption variable.

@Mike.Thompson

is there another option? This does not seem to work properly. Thank you
