Edit file iProperties without opening file?

[Anonymous]

Hi all,

Does anyone know if it's possible to edit the iProperties of a file without opening the file? In Windows explorer a user can right click on an inventor file, and edit the iProperties from the iProperties tab of the File Properties window.

Is this action replicable with VBA (or other language)? If so, how?

Regards

Get the "Document" of the file whose properties you want to edit, and call "PropertySets" method on it to get access to it's iproperties.

e.g. Application->ActiveDocument->PropertySets, gives access to iproperties of active document in Inventor.
