Inventor Drawing Template Changing iProperties Text Affects All Sheets

Anonymous

Hi all,

 

I have a created our templates and have iproperties so that the text would fill in with the new sheets.  Problem is, not every new sheet has the same entry, such as, 'title'.  Is there a way to change something in another sheet without it changing in another sheet?

 

Thank you!

If you pull from iProperties, the values will be the same.
The only way I know would be to add custom iProperties for each sheet.

How do I add a custom iprop to just a particular sheet?

You don't - you would just have a custom iProperty in the drawing named for each sheet, ex.  "Title_Sheet_1", "Title_Sheet_2", etc.  For this application, I don't think that's the best method.  To do it that way and make it work correctly, you would need a different title block definition for each sheet, so it could reference the appropriate custom property.  That would be very clunky to manage.

 

At my company, we avoid this by just not doing multi-sheet drawings in most cases.  The Title property isn't the only reason we do that, though, and you may have your own reasons for wanting to keep the multi-sheet drawings in your process.  If that's the case, you should probably consider having your "Title" be a prompted-text entry instead of an iProperty.  That would let you enter whatever you want on each sheet for that field.

Awesome, thank you.  I totally forgot about the prompted text.
