iProperties Add Property to Project tab - API VB.NET

[florian_wenzel]

Hi,

Inventor 2022

API VB.NET Visual Studio

i try to add a Property to iProperties exyctly to Project Tab ("Design Tracking Properties").

But without success.

Is this possible, add to Project ?

The Goal is to get something like this.

This is my Code:

Imports System.Runtime.InteropServices
Imports Inventor
Imports Microsoft.Win32
Imports System.Collections.Generic
Imports System.Linq
Imports System.IO

Module CommandFunctionButton_12

    Public Sub CommandFunctionfweButton_12()
        Dim oPartDoc As PartDocument = g_inventorApplication.ActiveDocument
        Dim oCompDef As PartComponentDefinition = oPartDoc.ComponentDefinition
        Dim oTO As TransientObjects = g_inventorApplication.TransientObjects
        Dim oTG As TransientGeometry = g_inventorApplication.TransientGeometry



        Dim oProperty As Inventor.Property
        Dim oPropertySet As Inventor.PropertySet

        oPropertySet = oPartDoc.PropertySets.Item("Design Tracking Properties")
        'oPropertySet = oPartDoc.PropertySets("{32853F0F-3444-11D1-9E93-0060B03C1CA6}")

        oProperty = oPropertySet.Add("204", "MaterialCode")




    End Sub

End Module

Error:

Unknow Error

Thanks for any Sugestion.

With this you add a propertyset no property.
You need to do
Propertyset.item(***).add(###)

Hi @florian_wenzel 

We do not have access to create iProperties on the standard tabs.

You will need to add your new property to the Custom tab.

oPropertySet = oPartDoc.PropertySets.Item("Inventor User Defined Properties")

I hope this helps.
Best of luck to you in all of your Inventor pursuits,

Hi Curtis_Waguespack

Thanks for Answer,

Good to Know, that we are not able to do this.

Because i need this in Bill of Materials, and when i will be able to add a Property to Project tab, then it will be a easy step to add this to Bill of Materials.

And are we able to Change the Name of the Property in Project tab?

what do displayName?

Ok i got it.

Add Custom iProperty Columns   - in Bill of Materials
