      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi Alex,&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Unfortunately both UI and API don't support to export the custom iproperties to step file in Inventor. You can log a new Idea for this requirement.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hello Yuhan Zhang,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;Thank you for your advice, I will post this idea.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;But I tried something and came to the following idea. When exporting a step file from Inventor go to the following information please see photo. Like Description, Authorisation, Solid label line.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Can I use the API to write the user-specific properties into the description line or into the authorization line.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I found some scripts in different forums and will try to create a script for myself.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Best regards&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Alex&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="Step_options in Inventor.JPG" style="width: 410px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/666727i9030AF25C86453C2/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;amp;px=999" role="button" title="Step_options in Inventor.JPG" alt="Step_options in Inventor.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="Step_Text_File_export.JPG" style="width: 751px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/666728i2172FA2FAD3E4D0C/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;amp;px=999" role="button" title="Step_Text_File_export.JPG" alt="Step_Text_File_export.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Yes, you can. Here is the sample VBA code on documentation:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;A href="https://help.autodesk.com/view/INVNTOR/2019/ENU/?guid=GUID-5D978C1C-7C77-410D-8CB4-C9BD992D20EB" target="_blank"&gt;https://help.autodesk.com/view/INVNTOR/2019/ENU/?guid=GUID-5D978C1C-7C77-410D-8CB4-C9BD992D20EB&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Hope it helps.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hello Yuhan Zhang,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I have tried to combine the different scripts together but my VBA knowledge is limited. Would it be possible for you to help me?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;That is my wish:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;1. I want to write several custom properties when exporting the Step file to Custom Line with a tren character.&lt;BR /&gt;2. I want to export from an assembly that contains several parts: The parts in the assembly have the same custom properties, but they are filled with different values. ZB. Custom Ipropertie diameter and length.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thank you for your help.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Best regards&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Alex&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I used the code provided by you and this works fine for most of the properties.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;But for the iproperty "Title" this doesn't work.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;If i check the created STEP file it's also not mapped as Title but as name...&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I tried:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;PRE&gt;		&lt;SPAN&gt;oOptions&lt;/SPAN&gt;.&lt;SPAN&gt;Value&lt;/SPAN&gt;(&lt;SPAN&gt;"name"&lt;/SPAN&gt;) = &lt;SPAN&gt;" "&lt;/SPAN&gt;
		&lt;SPAN&gt;oOptions&lt;/SPAN&gt;.&lt;SPAN&gt;Value&lt;/SPAN&gt;(&lt;SPAN&gt;"Title"&lt;/SPAN&gt;) = &lt;SPAN&gt;" "&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/PRE&gt;&lt;P&gt;Is it possible to do it this way?&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I agree, this should be sorted.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;If you export a step file from Inventor, the path&amp;amp;file name are exported in the NAME property.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;The receiving company will also see that location in the NAME property.&amp;nbsp; (or TITLE in Inventor)&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;The senders folder location will probably not want to be shared with the receiver.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;So how can this be achieved without using an external programme to edit the file?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;BTW using&amp;nbsp;&lt;SPAN&gt;oOptions&lt;/SPAN&gt;.&lt;SPAN&gt;Value&lt;/SPAN&gt;(&lt;SPAN&gt;"name"&lt;/SPAN&gt;) = &lt;SPAN&gt;"TEST.step" in iLogic doesn't work.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Dave W&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I'm not sure if there is a solution provided by autodesk by now but i use a work around.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Via ilogic, I savecopy the step to a directory where no harmful information is visible in the path and then copy it to the folder where i need it.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;&lt;EM&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;That’s a good idea, many thanks.&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;EM&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Autodesk, I hope you’re reading this? Solid works outputs &amp;nbsp;just the file name in the ‘name’ property, whereas Inventor puts the folder structure as well. I wonder about the legal implications of the company sending out their folder structure &amp;nbsp;unknowingly in the Step file??&amp;nbsp;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>
