Inventor help states that custom Harness Properties are present in Place Wire Dialog to help user determine which wire to choose.
After wire was placed to harness assy its custom properties (Color, Vendor etc) could be browsed using "Harness Properties" context menu. You even can override or restore value to library value there.
Let now open Bill of Materials and add custom iProperty Column Color or Vendor (or both columns).
Could you see the same as me? There is no values in those columns for wire rows neither overriden nor library's.
I wonder if there is any way to have the values of custom harness properties in the BOM table?
PS: AFAIK there is no even API methods to get to harness component properties and if so its a kind of unreasonable limitation.
Inventor version?
Its working in 2014...
edit... wait...having a custom iproperty from the harness itself is working BUT custom properties of individual wires do NOT show
does anybody know if this is resolved in the latest version of inventor?
Hi! I believe it is doable. As long as the custom property name is added to the BOM as a column, it should show up. you can also make the change the iam template file, so that it is prepopulated.
If it is not working, please share the files here. It could be a bug or a limitation. I would like to understand the behavior better.
Many thanks!
