Drawing list

johan.degreef — Fri, 24 Jul 2020 05:28:05 GMT

We have our titleblocks & partlists filled in by the models (parts & &assemblies) custom iproperties. All our dwg's are in the root of the project folder, +-30-40 dwg's

It would be handy If you have an updated drawinglist (heading with projectnumber, projecttitle, client,...) table with a drawing per line (Drawingnumber, drawingtitle, revision, paperformat,...)

You know if something similar if already shared here?

Many Thanks, Johan

Hi,

How are you planning to do that ? from Excel ? using VBA ? or VBA writting to an excel file ?

iProperties can be accessed without opening files so it can be done without too much problems

Yes, the idea was to export it to an excel.

In that case, you could use InventorApprentice Object from excel to get iProperties values from drawings.

Or you could create an Excel object from inventor and write your properties to excel. Are you familiar with VBA ? I don't believe there is a solution for your exact need you could just copy.
