Link properties

[Raminasrl]

Hi guys,

I have some files linked to folder "A" and I have the same files linked to folder "B".

Is'it possible to have some link properties that have different values for the link to folder "A" and link to folder "B"?

E.g. color red for file part linked to folder "A" and color blu for file part linked to folder "B".

Also is it possible to mapping to file.

Thanks for any help.

Based on what I have read and if I understand your question right… the file link simply points back to the original Vault file. This means that each link won’t have its own unique set of properties. They simply display the source file’s properties. So you may have multiple links to a file but only one set of properties.

Thanks for your answer,

I would like to print the idw drawing with some properties of the folder (in drawing title block) where the file is linked.

Any idea?

Hi,

To print Inventor drawings you could use Apprentice and ApprenticeDrawingPrintManager. See the Inventor API help file:

"C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Inventor 2014\Local Help\admapi_18_0.chm"
