Adding a custom drawing property

[larry_dubroff]

I'm creating customized drawing formats for the engineering staff. I'd like to have the author's email address to be added automatically to the title block. Since the email address does exist as part of the user ID how do I add that to the properties-drawing pull down menu?

thanks...larry dubroff

What do you mean with properties drawing pull down menu?

[larry_dubroff]

in the format text dialog box the pull down option of "properties - drawing" then gives me a bunch of pre-set properties. I'd like to add the user's email address as a custom property to that list.

Ok I understand.
I will take a look.

Maybe you could already use the emailadress iproperty!

Hi,

You cannot add properties to the predefined property-sets of inventor.

The only possible way is adding a custom I-property with the emailadress.
