Apply Presets programmatically

Apply Presets programmatically

Presets are a great functionality to apply various settings to features. Unfortunately, there is currently no public API available for creating, selecting, or applying any Presets programmatically.

In my specific case, I need to apply a set of propüerties to an assembly through BIM-Content - Include Properties, but I'm sure there would be diverse other applications throughout Inventor starting from applying a set of parameters to a hole to generating different simplifications with different levels of detail to whatever is possible with a preset.

So appling a preset, that could easily be deployed to a users machine through the API would provide a powerful tool for many use-cases.

Please take into consideration as a future API-Improvement.

Thank you,
Tobias

Full support for this idea.

A public API for selecting, and applying Inventor presets would significantly simplify automated workflows.


It would reduce implementation and maintenance effort, minimize potential error sources, and enable the consistent use of centrally managed presets.
