Custom iProperties - add list type

Custom iProperties - add list type

There are text, number and Boolean type in Custom iProperties. It will be really useful if you can add list in the custom iProperties. So I can pick a value from the list instead of typing in every time. And less change to make mistakes.

Multi-value Parameters already exist.  It would be nice to have similar functionality in the iProperties.

 

 

For a workaround using existing features, have you considered using an exported Multi-value Parameter?  You would achieve most of what you want, the downside being that you would have to edit it from either the Parameters dialog box or an iLogic form instead of directly from the iProperties.

I would really like to see this added. I'd especially like to be able to use this in iLogic forms, so that I can control the value of an iProperty with my form rather than a Parameter.

I have my custom iproperties in the iLogic Browser.  These are in all of my templates and it makes it real easy to access.

@Cadmanto yeah, that's a nice time-saver. You still have to type in their values, though. Do you agree that being able to create multi-value iProperties, so you can choose a value from a drop-down list, would be useful?

Yeah, if the right condition, yes.

It would be great if the multi-value list created in Vault for a property could automatically populate in the Inventor custom iProperty that it's mapped to.  That way the list of values is controlled in Vault and wouldn't need to be recreated in Inventor.  The user should be able to change it in either application and have the same list of values.

Would be great if the iProperties could be selected from a text file or something similar

 

iProperties.txt

[Custom iProperty 1]

value 1

value 2

value 3

 

[Custom iProperty 2]

value 1

value 2

value 3

 

Would be great if we could pick the right value from a drop down list while filling in the iproperties. Would be a great time saver. (and still have the possibility to add something different too).

See material...

In VAULT it is possible to create lists with attributes for each custom property. It would be great, if this list can also used in Inventor to choose on of the attributes in the iProperties.
Please make this possible.

We've used the iPropertyWizard for years for standardization by limiting the options for certain iproperties and also forces certain fields to be populated.  It shows the users exactly what needs populated vs. sorting through all the tabs of the iProperty dialog box and picking and choosing. It's much more flexible and customizable than using Vault's Data Standard.  https://www.c3mcad.com/ProductPages/MiscTools/ProductiPropWiz7.aspx 

 

This is a long time wish of ours to be included or emulated in Inventor.
