Custom iProperties global setting

[Anonymous]

Hi,

first of all sry, I hope I can descripe the problem. I work in IT department and the Inventor Users asked me to find out how it works. Sry for English, I´m from Germany.

Problem is they have new name in iProperties. But they want the name be a global new name for every workstation. So it should appear on every machine in the dropdown list.

Just tried and read for one hour, but no solution. Still a lot of ??? here 🙂

Hope you can help me.

Kind regards

Hey, what dropdown list are we talking here about? A value in an iProperty? Something like this?

Anyway, Inventors aren't connected together, so you'll have to save the values somewhere on your server. It can be a text file, database (e.g. SQL), (web) service, Inventor VBA project (If loaded from server, defaultly in "C:\Users\Public\Documents\Autodesk\Inventor 2017\Default.ivb"). Or you can copy it to every user on login, or manually (if you're sure it won't change).

Yes, exactly this menu and the name property. Ok, lets say I want to use a textfile. Just write the name in it, for example "New Custom Name". And then, how to connect, that the name appears in the dropdown. Sry, but I never worked with Inventor, just the poor IT guy who got to find a solution 😉
