Inventor IDW Dimension Properties - Match Properties Command

Inventor IDW Dimension Properties - Match Properties Command

Autodesk AutoCAD features a nice command MATCHPROP. It would be useful to have a command in Inventor which can be used to quickly match the properties of a dimension to other dimensions.

 

For example:

If you have many diameter dimensions of a similar Primary Unit and Primary Tolerance precision a match properties command would allow the user to quickly assign these precisions without having to double clikc each dimension, change the unit precision, change the tolerance precision, and then move to the next dimension that needs to be edited.

If it's reoccurring precisions and tolerances, that's where custom Dimensions Styles are nice.  Click a dimension or hole note command, go select your style from the ribbon and place your 1st dimension and all the following will be the same if you stay in the command.  If you want to change after created.  Pic all the dims you want to change with CTRL and click and then go select your Dim Style from the ribbon.  Then your company is standardized.

@R_HendersonHHYKK besides the idea provided by @mikeh2 , you could use Copy Properties in context menu for a try. Thank you!
