To expand, all Inventor documents have the same
attributes, or iProperties. You can RMB on a part in your browser, or from
the File-> iProperties to get to these attributes. These properties can
then be linked to your drawings and titleblocks. Look at Sean Dotson's web
page for tutorials on how to create a titleblock with attributes.
I see how that can get to the drawing, but I have some parts that will have text identifier tags directly on them. I'd like that to have that information show up in assemblies, not just have that as a callout in a drawing. Each instance of the part in the assembly should have a unique identifier. I've been doing that in AutoCAD forever, but I can't get Inventor to do that yet.
Is the identifier tag a label? You could create a label part
with Embossed text. Turn that into an iPart, with all the different text tags
specified in the table. Then place the appropriate label tags in the
assembly.

Maybe what he is after is the one that gives me fits. I have all of our parts part marked
with the part number and rev. In MDT I used Rtext to do it and it was all parametric.
If I revved the part the partmark automatically updated. As of yet there is no way to
do anything like this in Inventor. Definitely on my wish list. 8^)

Could you elaborate on the label idea a bit? I have the iPart defined somewhat and it will prompt me for a value when entering it in an assembly, but linking the parameter to the embossing is where I'm having a problem. I can emboss text that I type in the sketch, but I can't link the text to the parameter. What am I overlooking? The text editor only inserts the current value of the parameter into the text, not a link that can be changed later.
