Enable "Copy Model iProperties"

[mrawesomelemons]

I have made a script to update all the iProperties before saving.

This only works for custom iProperties if the option "Copy model iproperties" is enabled and the custom iproperties I want to copy are selected.

In my template I have enabled this option but for my older drawings I have this option disabled. There are so many drawings I can't possibly go through them manually and change the option so I want to make an iLogic rule or something alike to enable this option and select the custom iproperties I want to have copied and updated.

Is there any way to enable and select custom iProperties to copy in de document settings?

Hello,
Is there a solution in this case? Can you enable the copy option iProperties using ilogic, vb or API?

It would be so nice to have this option. I also now manually copy model iproperties for every drawing and am looking into some code that can run this at an assembly level or possibly a code that I could run in the detail/ass'y drawing alone. It takes a decent bit of time to find the model in my directory, maybe there is a way that it could open up the file location off the bat when searching for the model that I want to copy. Any help appreciated.

I know this post is a couple yeas old.  Is it still not possible to set these boxes via iLogic?

Thanks

Hey, 

No I haven't found a solution to this problem via iLogic, but there might be a solution that I don't know of. 

What I do is 'drive' the drawing title block from the model iProperties. 

An easy way to set this up is to create a drawing template that does this for you. So every time you create a new drawing you reuse that template that has the title block driven from model iProperties. So once you drop the model in the drawing the title block populates. In hindsight this is much more efficient due to BOM's being driven from the model and not the drawing.  

Hope this helps. I haven't had to copy model iproperties manual like this for a couple of years.

Ben

Using a simple add-in (Attached) would help in this case. I have prepared this for those who cannot wait till future implementation.
