Table Driven Template Files (Custom iParts)

[Anonymous]

We have a situation where we have lots of raw materials used by designers.  These are not just materials like in the libraries, but specific raw materials like 0.25x0.375in CRS Bar.  For downstream systems, we require parts made from a particular raw material to also have other properties filled out.  Right now, we have to maintain separate files for each raw material.  This could also be useful for other custom iPart

I would be useful if we could use table driven files for templates.  They could be accessible through the standard create new dialog, but the user would select the file, select the appropriate member, then Inventor would create it and break the link with the factory file.

This would allow administrators to manage many template files very conveniently.
