Need to open the iProperties dialog box - Inventor

[RoyWickrama_RWEI]

After running some of the external iLogic codes, I would like to take a look at the iProperties dialog box. Could someone provide me with the iLogic coding suitable for this.

See the attached, please.

Thanks.

Unless you want to add it to an already existing iLogic code ...why not just click on the iproperty button. Still just one button click if you did a separate iLogic code.   Maybe see about a short key

Hi rwickrama,

This should work. However there is not a way to open it to a specific tab (at least not that I am aware of).

'open iProperty dialog box 
ThisApplication.CommandManager.ControlDefinitions.Item _
("AppiPropertiesWrapperCmd").Execute

Also just as a tip, you can search and ask programming questions of this type on the Inventor Customization forum too:

I hope this helps.

Hi Curtis, could your solution be amended so that it opens the "custom" tab of iprperties instead of the "general" tab?

I found on another site if you swap "AppiPropertiesWrapperCmd" with "Editmasspropertiescmd" it opens the "physical" tab but I can't find the right item for the custom tab

Thanks in advance
