Populating sheets using Form per sheet

Hi,

 

I've created a A1 Sheet template with an iLogic form and to auto populate the details using the form. Unfortunately when I create multiple sheets the details on all of my sheets are the same. Is there a way to suppress a few details to auto populate the other sheets.

 

I have attached the template part below with the iLogic form for it. And also a screenshot of the form, the ones highlighted in red were the details that I would like to be manual input and the rest will be typical to all sheets created.

 

Before I've created it as a prompted entry but it would save me to key in some of it as I have created few multi-value parameters. Creating them shall give me the option to choose from the drop down menu.

 

Please let me know if you need some more information in regards to this post.

 

Kind regards

 

Eugene Morales

@eugene.morales,

 

After going through Sample Template.idw, it is found that most of the values are custom properties which are populated in title block definition. For every sheet, values are accessed through custom properties of Drawing document. So, the values are same for all sheets which are created in this Drawing document.

 

To overcome this, delete all text fields from MIM Dwg No., Drawing Description, Revision Table and Drawing Reference which are associated with "Sample 2  STD A1 Title Block" title block.

 

To update MIM Dwg. No and Drawing Description, a customized general note can be created and positioned at same location with user inputs from iLogic form. For more details on adding general note via Inventor API, go through below help documentation link.

To update Revision Table and Drawing Reference, a custom table can be created and positioned at same location with user inputs from iLogic form. For more details on adding custom table via Inventor API, go through below help documentation link.
