<Unknown member of Parameter: Value>

[davidn007]

After selecting the object and entering my parameter ({Tube_OuterDiameter.Value:3f}) in the text box, then clicking button, it replaces the origial text I had entered from the menu "Create" -> "text", it changes to "".
I have tried creating the Parameter without underscores (_) and the same thing happens

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to 'Modify -> Change Text Parameters', select the text box to add the parameter to, and enter it into the expression/text box.
   • {Tube_OuterDiameter.Value:3f}
2. Click on 'Ok' button
3. View Text Object
4. I don't know if this is an error, but the value of the text object is now

Expected behavior
The Expression of that Parameter is "( 1 in * 1.625 ) + Tube_ToleranceOffset" and the Value is 41.375, so I expected to see "41.375" in the text object.
Note: I actually want it to show the value in inches (1.625), but that's an issue for another day.

Hi,

The add-in is case sensitive, so value has to be written in lower case:
{Tube_OuterDiameter.value:.3f}

I have not played around with inches that much, but you probably want to start by setting the unit to inches in the Fusion parameters. Tube_OuterDiameter.inchfrac could be useful as well.
