Autodesk Inventor

Will someone please tell me if I can do this, and how:

I want to import some of the iproperties of one ipt file into an iam file.

If that's possible, I forget how to do it.

Chris,

See if this link helps you.

You can use design assistant to copy iproperties.

Thanks Scott, but that's not what I want to do.

I want to take the iProperties, such as the "Part Number", "Description", etc., and link it from an ipt to an iam, or an iam to an ipt, or whatever.

I already know how to use Parameters in other files.

It's the iProperties that I don't know how or can't recall if it's possible to do.

Any other ideas?

Incidentally, I'm running IV2010.

Hi! If I understand your request correctly, you want to "Derive" iProperties from doc A to doc B, right? Unfortunately, Derive does not support linking iProperties except Parameters (Custom iProperties). But, I think this can be done by using VBA code or iLogic.

Thanks!

I was going to suggest ilogic, but I see I got beaten to the punch.

I am not an ilogic guru so I can't help you to write it, but when it comes to things of this nature that is the path I have seen several go down.

Johnson,

Thanks for responding.

I'm on 2010, and don't have the iLogic module.

Questions:

1. Do you know if iLogic is the same for the 2010 add-in, compared to when it became integrated into the program?

2. Do you know where I can pay a reasonable price for the iLogic module for 2010, w/o Autodesk forcing me to pay their "protection racket fee"?

Thanks ... Chris
