Format Inventor Property Fields

kevinelliott89 · ‎08-11-2017

Is there a way to format inventor generated property fields, such as the format of units from <MASS> property or the date format of <CREATION DATE>? Example, the default unit for <MASS> for IPS units is "lbmass". Can I set it to just say "lb." or "LB"? It doesn't fit correctly in my titleblock. Same with the date properties.

Date format is set by the windows time settings

If nothing else, mass can be set by setting a parameter equal to the weight formatted how you like, then exporting it as an iProperty.

There is nothing to do with Property Field Units in Drawing Title Block.

Because Property Field Units are belongs to Parts & Assemblies.

If you are calling the Units from Parts & Assemblies then we have to go for Custom Property else we have to Edit the Title Block in Drawing.

First Edit the Title Block and check either its a text or Units are called out from Parts & Assemblies.
