iLogic Inventor to AutoCad dwg: custom property in multi sheet

When exporting a multi sheet Inventor dwg to AutoCad, I need to put custom properties to pre-defined AutoCad attributes. The challenge starts when these custom properties need to have a different value on each sheet. This goes for sheet number, view-scale etc.

The attributes in Inventor itself do this automatically of course e.g. SheetNumber or DrawingScale. Each sheet shows the value it needs to be. I need to use custom properties to get these values to specific attributes in AutoCad 

 

example:

the AutoCad attribute is called N_META_SHEETNUMBER

In Inventor I call the sheet number and put that value in a custom property N_META_SHEETNUMBER, resulting in all sheets having the same pagenumber (the number called depends on the sheet that is active at the time).

 

I hope my description makes my challenge clear.

Anyone stuggeled with the same issue before and found the answer?

Hi! Then, I guess you will need multiple custom iProperties (one for each sheet). Or, you have an iLogic rule having the ability to query a particular sheet on the fly. Please note that iLogic only runs within Inventor, not in AutoCAD.

Many thanks!
