iLogic: Modify iProperties of a 'model' that is associated to the drawing view

[john.laidler]

I'm trying to do this with iLogic, and i'm not getting anywhere.  What I need help with, is to be able get to the iProperties of an associated model that is referenced into a drawing file.  I want to make it easier to update the iProperties from the drawing file, without having to open the model file. 

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Thanks.

Here you go, simple example:

modelName = IO.Path.GetFileName(ActiveSheet.View("VIEW1").ModelDocument.FullFileName)
iProperties.Value(modelName, "Summary", "Title") = "Test"
iLogicVb.UpdateWhenDone = True

There are 3 party software companies that do exactly what you want. Just do a search for an “Inventor property manager”.

Kudos to JD Kriek I would use the same code. 

If you want to make it a little easier using iLogic I would suggest using “Forms”.

First make a template that has “User Parameters” that will drive data into your iproperties

Second link all your to your parameters using iLogic (See Image Below).

Third move your parameters into a form so you can update them with ease 

Now you have your own little “Property Manager” on the drawing level that updates the model.

I hope this helps.

Thanks
