Update drawing Iproperties from Model?

[drafting1]

Hi all, 

I would like to add a rule to our standard template that would also work on updating current drawings.

I would like to try do an ilogic that will set the copy model iproperty setting to copy all properties

I believe then I can use the following that I can set to trigger once the document opens and saves

Dim oControlDef as ControlDefinition  = ThisApplication.CommandManager.ControlDefinitions.​Item("UpdateCopiedModeliPropertiesCmd")
 
oControlDef.Execute2(True)

Is it possible to add in the ilogic to set the triggers?

Hi, Thanks but I was hoping to add an ilogic that would do the steps instead on manually doing it.

Hi @drafting1,

Create a new template drawing with settings of copy Model iPropeties to Drawing.

This setting is very important. If any changes in Model iPropeties, then previous code can be used to update iPropeties.

Thanks and regards,

Thats fine to add it to our template but what about updating existing drawings?

Hi @drafting1,

Unfortunately, there is no direct API to copy all Model iProperties at single shot.

But Individual model iProperties can copied using following iLogic rule.

If (ThisDrawing.ModelDocument Is Nothing) Then Return

modelName = IO.Path.GetFileName(ThisDrawing.ModelDocument.FullFileName)

iProperties.Value("Project", "Part Number") = iProperties.Value(modelName, "Project", "Part Number") 

iProperties.Value("Summary", "Title") = iProperties.Value(modelName, "Summary", "Title")

iProperties.Value("Summary", "Subject") = iProperties.Value(modelName, "Summary", "Subject")

iProperties.Value("Status", "Status") = iProperties.Value(modelName, "Status", "Status")

It can be extended to copy all model iProperties.

Please feel free to contact if there is any doubt.
