Hi @k.grigoriou 

With the information you have provided this isn't possible I think. Custom or Standard is starting from the same part. 

If you only want to maintain one family and are willing to use ilogic rule or /vba Macro you could achieve this. You would need to remove custom iproperties or at least the export of them from the table then have the ilogic code Create them as needed then from an assembly/part by looking back into the family table and searching the cells for the values you need . 

Another method which I haven't tried purely theoretical is to have an ilogic rule within the part document that would just delete the custom iproperties on New document event after first detecting it is a standard part and not a custom one.

i will try to find a solution with ilogic . i never use it until now.

Could your iLogic create the iProperties for you?

If you place all parts without iProps - then run the code on the parts that need iProps.  This way, the code is very "simple":

iProperties.Value("Custom", "PropertyName") = "Some property value"

hi thanks for your replay 

I'm trying to understand what this ilogi is doing but i cant see how this code can identify if the part is as custom or if it is as standard and after to assign the custom iproperty if the part is as custom
