AutoCAD Inventor :: Removing Characters From IProperty
Jan 3, 2013
I'd like to build a rule into my standard part template that takes the part number (which it automatically gets from the file name by default), removes the characters after a delimiter, as well as the delimiter itself, and sets that as a new custom property. For example, we'll call the custom property Prop1
For part 123-321-1.ipt
Inventor already sets part number iProperty to 123-321-1
I want to set Prop1 to 123-321
For part 123-321-25.ipt
Inventor already sets part number iProperty to 123-321-25
I want to set Prop1 to 123-321

I'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.

When i export revit drawing with revit family
the revit family become block in autocad like this
M_Single-Flush - 700 x 2200mm-278353-Ground Level _0_45
usually i want to remove the ID and view name to become like this without have to re type because it is tedious
M_Single-Flush - 700 x 2200mm
something like how many letters you want to remove from last to first ?
or something better like remove this last two dash and the letters embedded inside ( that separate name-ID-View name) -278353-Ground Level _0_45?

iProperties.Value("Custom", "myvol")=volume = iProperties.Volume
But the custom iProperty is a Yes or No.Had no problem with this in Inventor 2011.

I 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.

I am trying to write a small standalone app in C# that I can run when I have an assembly document open. I want the app to iterate through all the parts in the assembly and set the iproperties. I am having some trouble accessing the iproperties however.
I want (for example) to set the "TITLE" in the "DOCUMENT SUMMARY INFORMATION" to be a concatenation of the part number and the description separated by a " - ".how to access these properties.

I would like to add a Custom iProperty to the BOM using API.
It would mimic the "Add custom iProperty columns" dialog.

I'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.

My company manufacturs many sheet metal parts that ends up being painted.We need to describe both material and surface treatment in the title blocks on our idw's. Inventor parts then have a selected material (the required steel type) and a color override is applied (the required paint job) But color override is not just like that to retrieve for the title block, like standard iproperties like
<MATERIAL> or <THICKNESS>

I have a template part that I would like to save automatically once the parameters dialog box is closed. I would also like the Save As filename to automatically be filled in with a iProperty named "Part Name". I already have the "Part Name" description grabbing information from parameters. Is this possible? And is the best way to trigger the event after an "iProperty change" or "Any Model Parameter Change"?

I put this url in iproperty: catalog web link: google.it in a part
Then I published the DWF.
I supposed than I push ctrl - click catalog web link: google.it in design review properties table the browser pop up but nothing happend.
My idea is fill this iproperty of any part that need maintenance with the url of manufacturer. So the customer can directly download the manuals.

is 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.
Dim oISI As Inventor.PropertySetDim oDrw As Inventor.DrawingDocumentSet oDrw = ThisApplication.ActiveDocumentSet oISI = oDrw.PropertySets.Item("Inventor Summary Information")oISI.Item("Revision Number").Value = "test"oDrw.ActiveSheet.Update ' I would like to replace this line, this take long time

I am migrating our old Inventor data to our new system. I will do an ilogic script for that.
I know how to add custom iProperties with iLogic but how can I remove them? Is it possible with iLogic? I would like to clean out all old iProperties that we don't need anymore.

I am trying to use the iProperties.Value("part1", "Summary", "iProperty") function to get the filename or complete filepath of a component within a subassembly. I know that these iProperties exist because I can insert them onto a drawing, and I see them in the general tab of the iProperty window.
However, when I try something like:
filename = iProperties.Value("part1", "General", "Filename")
I get an error message indicating that the General tab can't be found. How might I go about getting this filename iProperty, or is there an easier way?

I am trying to add a custom iProperty from my assembly to the drawing parts list. According to the help wiki, I'm supposed to click Column Chooser > New Property > Custom Properties List (click here to see the relevant wiki page--also see the attached screenshot called Custom Property Help.png).
When I click on new property, there is nothing about Custom Properties List.

How to create a list of values to chose from for an iProperty? I can create a multi-value parameter and set the iproperty equal to it, then create a form that calls up the parameter...but there has to be a better way. I'd like to create a template with iProperties that are standardized. For example, we have a bunch of labs in our business. I created a custom iproperty for the labs (so that this property could be searched in vault). However, if I stop there, users will find all sorts of ways to botch the lab names. Therefore, when you run a search for a lab, you may not find all the files associated with that lab due to a mispelling. Forcing values chosen from the iProperty list would prevent this from happening.
I was hoping there would be a way to do this with iLogic forms, but you can't create a list for iProperties...at least I don't think you can.

Is there a way to change an iProperty, specifically the iProperties->Project->Project field for multiple parts automatically.
I use the iLogic Design Copy Tool to copy over an entire project, and for the most part the only changes is the project number.
I didn't see a way to change this in the Design Copy Tool, possibly there is some other tools that can do this that I don't know about. But if not, I am assuming a small script (VBA??) would be required to do this? whether it is in Inventor or just an outside program to carry out this change.
I found this old thread, but it seems that people just found another way to do this?
[URL]
My workflow would follow something like this:
-Use iLogic Design Copy Tool to copy over project to new folder
-Open up full assembly
-Run rule or script to update all parts in assembly with new Project iProperty
-Save
-update the drawings as I need, (they will all need to be reviewed as some parts will be modified anyways)

We would like to enforce that our designers save all Inventor files by the Part number only. This is not a problem when using Vault to open files as the interface can be customized to show the iProperty description field. The problem comes in for users who open files from the local drive before they have been added to Vault. There is no way for them to see the iProperty descrition for the files except if they hover over each file and wait for the tooltip to show which then shows a number of iProperties.
I found that I can add a Windows description column but by default it is blank. Is there anyway to get the iProperty description to synchronize with the windows description column?
