AutoCAD Inventor :: Add Custom IProperty To BOM Using API?

It would mimic the "Add custom iProperty columns" dialog.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Link Standard IProperty To Custom IProperty?
Aug 7, 2012I'm looking to see if there is a way to link the revision number to a custom iProperty in the same part. Our laser requires a specific output for programming, but I only want this to show up on actual lasered parts as we don't need it on parts that are sawcut. Basically what I would like to do is create a custom iProperty that I can link to the title block for that reads RV:<Revision>. Is there a way to do this? I'd rather not create a separate drawing template for lasered parts as we've got about 100 templates for our various customers the way it is.

AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Add Custom IProperty To Parts List
Jan 16, 2012I am trying to add a custom iProperty from my assembly to the drawing parts list.

When I click on new property, there is nothing about Custom Properties List.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Use ILogic To Change Custom IProperty In Several Components At Once
Mar 25, 2013I've been using iLogic. I'm creating a template assembly that will be used for multiple jobs. Therefore, the job number will be changing. I want a custom iProperty in ALL parts and sub-assemblies (cleverly call it "Job #" maybe) that I can include an a separate property called "Drawing #" which whose value will be [some text]-<Job #>-[some more text]. I want to be able to update all the "some text" parts manually for each component, but I want the Job # to update automatically. I need this property because I have a column in all my Parts Lists called "Drawing #" which tells the drawing number for any given part or assembly.
Ultimately what I want to do is open a text or Excel file, enter the job number, open my Inventor drawing, and have every Drawing # entry in every parts list magically update to the correct job number.
I've managed to use iLogic to do just that with a single .ipt/.iam file. But I have dozens upon dozens of components in the main assembly. I'd like to run some rule or hit some button or do something that will cause the Job # property to update for ALL sub-assemblies and parts, so that all my parts lists reflect the change.
AutoCAD Inventor :: Multiple Lines Of Text In A Custom IProperty
Aug 29, 2006way to get multiple lines of text in an iProperty? I am using a custom iProperty named "Title" so users can insert the drawing title into the title block using the custom iProperty. The only problem is that the title comes out all on one line and goes outside the title block. Should I be using iproperties or is there a better way?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Copy Leader With Custom IProperty Fails?
Dec 21, 2011I have gotten in the habit of using a leader text with a custom iproperty to do material call outs on my drawings. I have been doing the first one then copy/pasting the leader onto each piece i want to call out.
This worked flawlessly in 2010 and has worked well previously in 2012. For some reason it is not working at all in this particular .idw.
work flow is to create the first instance, copy. right click outside the view border and select paste. Then attach to as many different parts as needed.
attached is the error message I get.
The custom iproperty is text. 1/2 a36 or 4x4x3/8 Angle
AutoCAD Inventor :: ILogic To Create Custom IProperty In Sub-component
Apr 1, 2013I found this code to create a custom iProperty in the current, open document:
Dim propertyName As String = "MyProperty"Dim propertyValue as String = "Test Value"customPropertySet = ThisDoc.Document.PropertySets.Item("Inventor User Defined Properties")Try prop = customPropertySet.Item(propertyName)Catch ' Assume error means not found customPropertySet.Add("", propertyName)End TryiProperties.Value("Custom", propertyName) = propertyValue
I have a iLogic rule that goes through each component of an assembly, counts how many times it occurs in the assembly, and then assigns that value to an iProparty (i.e. it inserts the total quantity of the part in some iProperty). Currently, however, it assigns the value to a default iProperty value, "Authority". I'd like, instead, for it to assign it to a custom iProperty called "Total QTY". However, I don't know how to tell Inventor to do the above code for a component in the assembly rather than the assembly itself. Below is my entire code. I've labeled where I'm guessing the above code should go. How I'd modify the above code to create the iProperty in the component being processed by the rule at that point?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Custom Iproperty Reverts Back To Original Value After File Is Saved
Apr 11, 2012In the attached file there are two custom iProperties that cannot be perminantly updated nor deleted. The iProperties are "size" and "purch_qty". These iProperties were created and set using a custom macro but they are of course accessable via the standard iProperties dialog. I can change the values for these particular iProperties but as soon as I save the file they revert back to their original values. Same goes for trying to delete them. All other iProperties, custom and otherwise, seem to behave normally.
The sketch in this file originated with a 2D DXF file for a vendor supplied aluminum extrusion quite a few years back. The original file has been copied (save-as...) to about 20 different files over the years. The iProperties in question were added years after most of the files were created, Each file is exibiting the same problem. These files are used in a LOT of assemblies. The thought of recreating all these files from scratch and updating the assemblies is not very inviting.
No other IPT files seem to be having this issue.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Sheet Name As IProperty
Nov 18, 2009I have a drawing of a sheet metal part with multiple sheets. I have named each sheet to reflect the nature of the views (general dimensions, detail views, flat pattern, etc.). I want the name of the sheet to appear in the title block, but I cannot seem to find the "Sheet Name" property anywhere. Can it be added to the list of the drawing or sheet properties, or is there another way to achieve this?. I do not want to have to use Custom Properties, and manually re-enter the names of each sheet.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Convert Iproperty Value
Oct 30, 2013I'm looking for a way to convert the iproperty value "volume" into length from known values in the part. I have an assembly which consists of 20 different typs of sheets which are rolled out in certain patterns. The width and depth of the sheet are known, and I would like to use the volume to find the length. The assembly is linked to an excel file so the values will change based on certain parameters. I'm using this as a check to make sure there is no error from the spreadsheet.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Refresh Sheet After IProperty Changes
Dec 4, 2012is there way to refresh sheet of drawing when an iProperty is changed trough API? When I change for example revision Number, the sheet still show old number. The value is changed, because if I open the iProperty dialog, there is new value and also when iProperty dialog is close then the sheet (title block with this property) is immediately correctly updated. I know that I can use ActiveSheet.Update method, but this update whole sheet and it take long time. There nust be something better because dialog iProperty doesnot update whole sheet and it is vvery quick.
