Hello, and welcome. 

I am having a hard time understanding what you would like to do.  Would you be able to share an image of what you are looking for?

I understand this as you want to have easier access to the Title property? I don't think there is any standard solution, but plugins are available. We use iTools by Swedish company Cadcraft (now owned by NTI, I'm not sure how their current offering looks like), where we have a custom-built property-tab that looks like this:

Some values correspond to iProperties, and some are custom ones.

@cekol20 Hello, do you still need help with this question?

[Frederick_Law]

You can use iLogic, macro or addin to make popup Window (dialog box).

Yes, still I need to help with this. I want to have easier access for titile of part. The number of part is assigned automatically but I need to fill a title of part. I dont want to lose a time for open iproperties in every parts. I want to create a strip seem like below. Is it posssible, If yes tell me how ;), thanks!

From previous responses, it looks like what you are trying to do is possible through customization.  I am moving this post to the Inventor Programming forum.  Maybe someone in there can offer a solution, or help you find what you need.  Good luck.

Good Afternoon,

Are you looking for something like this?

This is done by going to the Annotate tab and clicking General Note, select a screen quadrant i choose upper right:

Add some Text as a label in my example "Description:" then select the type of property you want to use under Type:

In my Example i use standard iproperites, then select the source, in an assembly i choose the primary model, or a part file would not have this selection:

Select which property you'd like to select:

then click the add parameter icon

then click ok, and you will have that text displaying what ever you like.

i hope this helps, please accept as a solution if this solves you question, if not lets get it figured out!

@AndrewHumiston 

Exactly like this but also I need edit from main page a name of part.

[AndrewHumiston]

to do that you would need to use a custom user form and some ilogic.

are you looking to edit these values?

[cekol20]

@AndrewHumiston 

Yes, I want to edit this from main page of creating part or sheet metal.

[AndrewHumiston]

Are you asking for a from in the part file? or inside the *.idw?

[cekol20]

I asked about edition from part page (.ipt).

[AndrewHumiston]

You will need to create a user from in the ilogic window right click in the gray area and select Add Form:

Click iProperties on the top of the form:

Click and drag the properties to the right:

Ensure Modal is set to false, this allows you to work with inventor while this form is open:

Select ok to close the form editor

Select you new form by clicking in the forms tab:

Change your values :

i hope this helps, if this solves your issue, please accept solution to help others better find this answer. 

thank you!

The window "Form 1" will be open all the time (automatically) when I will create or open a part and sheet metal?

[AndrewHumiston · Accepted solution]

i will caution you against this. you could very easily have alot of windows open that are related to files that are not the active file you are viewing.

you will need a rule to handle the opening of the form to trigger on open of a file and a similar rule to close the form when you are finished with that file.

once again i caution against this as you will have multiple files with different forms and you won't know which form is for which open file.
