How do you use True/False User Parameters in the iPart Author table?
I made an ipart of an 8020 1530 extrusion so that I could have different lengths of the extrusion in my library. I use an iLogic rule so that I can use true/false parameters to turn mitre cuts on and off for the ends. It all works fine within the part file but if I want to make an ipart I can't find my user parameters anywhere in the iPart Author table. Am I missing something or does Inventor not allow you to use true / false parameters and rules with an ipart table?

I've been doing some work with iParts, iLogic, and Content center the last couple days and have run into the same problem. From what I can find on the help wiki, Inventor iPart tables cannot handle "text" data to drive model parameters.
I was able to make a workaround using iLogic rule for my part. I left the true/false parameter in place (although you wouldn't need to) and then created a unitless numeric parameter to use as boolean (I enter either 0 or 1)
In iLogic, I created a rule:
if T_F_Boolean = 0 then
{operation for false}
else if T_F_Boolean = 1 then
{operation for true}
end if
The operations can be to set your True/False parameter value (since you already have that working) or perform the actual operation itself (i.e. make feature inactive or whatever.)
Hope this helps.
