How to edit iProperty that is not exposed in the user interface?

XYZ965 — Fri, 20 Oct 2023 08:20:36 GMT

For example, I want to use iProperty Manufacturer, but I don't see it in iProperties dialog box.

Property with that name exist in the List of Inventor pre-defined iProperty names.

Thanks.

Thank You very much for quick response, but I don't want to create new Custom iProperty if the property allready exist in predefined Inventor iProperties.

The "Manufacturer" field might be part of a specific template, and if you are not using that template, it won't be visible.

If the "Manufacturer" iProperty is still not visible, you can create or add it manually as a custom iProperty.

In fact, I would like to use iProperities like Sheet Metal Width, Sheet Metal Length ...

Thank You in advance

May be I'm wrong, but list of Inventor pre-defined iPoperty names I get via VBA code in my part file. And iProperty with name Manufacturer was listed.

Hi! I guess you will need to use iLogic. Indeed it seems that "Manufacturer" is a predefined iProperty in "Project" category. Use the following statement to assign the value.

iProperties.Value("Project", "Manufacturer") =ADSK

Many thanks!
