Customizing iProperties Window Box

[Anonymous]

I am trying to add a line into the iProperties dialog box. I would like to under the Summary tab be able to add Location  then the actual location similar to the Company prompt just above it. I know hod to add it under the Custom tab, but it would be much nicer under the Summary Tab.

It is not possible for the user to change how the iProperties dialog appears. You can either make a suggestion to add that in the Ideas Station area of the forum or create your own custom iProperties dialog with VBA, iLogic, or an Addin. I have an addin that displays all of the important iProperties for my company personally.

Hi,

The only possibility is to create your own dialog (I-propertiebox), and replace this with the original button within the inventor ribbon.

But than you are start programming a complete new add-in for this.

I don't know if this is a good practice for you.

• are you familiar with programming?
• are you able to update the program if needed?
• etc

I am not too good at programming. So I guess I will wait until Autodesk comes up with a friendlier way of customizing Inventor. Meanwhile I can get the information on to the drawing via the Custom tab on iProperties.

Thanks,

Bill

That is a wise decision!
