Integer parameter not evaluating in scripts (e.g. spur gear)
Please ignore this post - posted to wrong list. I have RTFM's but not managed to figure out what I'm doing wrong, so maybe this is a bug/feature?
When I specify a spur gear using the Autodesk example add-in, I can't get it to accept TeethN as a parameter. I have tried giving it the type "none" and the type "count/pieces", but both provoke the error message "The number of teeth must be a whole number".
or
e.g.

After reading your report twice, I fail to see how this relates to ParametricText.
If you have problems with developing add-ins, head over to the Autodesk forums: https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/fusion-360-api-and-scripts/bd-p/22
You probably want to read up on UserParameters and Parameters in the Fusion 360 API docs as well.
You are quite right. It doesn't. I can't believe I posted it here. No excuse. I'm so very sorry to waste your time. Thanks for the generous advice too.
Your response was helpful. It encouraged me to go and root around the API and try to understand why the demo spur gear code is so fussy. When I raked over the code I discovered that it did not even allow user parameters for the tooth count. Indeed to my limited understanding, it seems like it is a bit of a faff to upgrade the "teeth" count variable to accept a unitless user value, and you have to do some string parsing (shock horror).
Thanks again.
