API path to iproperties values

john — Tue, 26 Aug 2003 09:59:49 GMT

I'm trying to write a macro that needs a path to read/write to the iproperties within a .ipt file. For instance I want to be able to change the Title, the keywords, and the vendor of a .ipt file using visual basic code. I tried using ThisApplication.ActiveDocument.PropertySets.Item.Item.Value and other variations, but cannot seem to find a valid path. If you have knowledge of this could you also provide a sample of code?

The online help has a good example of how to access properties.

One example would be

oPropsets.Item("{32853F0F-3444-11D1-9E93-0060B03C1CA6}").ItemByPropId(kEngin
eerDesignTrackingProperties).Value = "Stuff"

Bad, but the head above see level again.
Enjoying solving Inventor/VB(A) problems.
Happy seeing you still (very) active in these groups.
Partly working on EDM/AutoCAD projects, and in due time EDM/Inventor projects.

Greetings,

Sounds interesting. Let me know about the EDM- Inventor. We currently EDM
our parts from AutoCAD.

Hi Sean,
Well i am still learning the howto, but more important the why? It's a complete different material and it take me a while to think like a designer for it's need to store and retrieve their documents, the relations between drawings and other documents, many different procedures for workflow etc. Which EDM system do you use? (if i may ask)
