iProperty PropertySets Cheat Sheet, Autodesk page is down

[mfoster9TD82]

I used to use this Autodesk page as a reference for iProperty PropertrySet names, but it's been down for a while.
https://www.autodesk.com/support/technical/article/caas/simplecontent/content/list-all-iproperties-a...

There was also a Mod The Machine one, but that is also down.
Mod the Machine: Accessing iProperties

Anyone have a good site that is still up for this?

Hi @mfoster9TD82, see these links. Hope that helps, Curtis

use example, for others in the future:

Dim invDoc As Document
invDoc = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument

' Get the property sets
Dim DesignTrackPropSet As PropertySet = invDoc.PropertySets.Item("Design Tracking Properties")
Dim AppSummaryPropSet As PropertySet = invDoc.PropertySets.Item("Inventor Summary Information")
Dim DocSummaryPropSet As PropertySet = invDoc.PropertySets.Item("Inventor Document Summary Information")
Dim CustomPropSet As PropertySet = invDoc.PropertySets.Item("Inventor User Defined Properties")

'get a property value using the enum/prop ID
Dim Author = AppSummaryPropSet.ItemByPropId(kAuthorSummaryInformation).Value

MsgBox(Author)

Hi, the technical document link that you shared, I believe, has in fact been removed.  I will attempt to tag @johnsonshiue to verify if this is the case, or if it's just a broken link.

Mod the Machine site seems to be working again today, can you please check if it is working for you?  It may have been down temporarily.  Thank you!

Yes, It looks like the Mod The Machine page is back up, thanks.

Just dropping a couple more useful things in here, since the topic came back up.  Attached is a PDF of an Excel spreadsheet I created a couple years ago, which I use all the time as a quick reference.  Most of the data was gathered into Excel using an iLogic rule, then I manually formatted it and added a few notes of my own.  I also attached a text file containing the code from one of my external iLogic rules which gathers similar data from a document in Inventor and writes it to Excel, but with minimal formatting, and no custom notes included.  This version does not gather the 'values' of the iProperties, just their structural data, and value types (if they have a value).  There are a 2 or 3 properties which have an 'IPictureDisp' type value, when they have a value, but this just writes 'Picture' when the value is present, or 'Nothing' when it does not have a value.  For best results, run it while a 'saved' or 'opened' document is active in Inventor, rather than a 'new' or unsaved one.  You can customized or develop the code further if needed.
