Properties Add In to Change Label Names

[Anonymous]

We are looking to create an add-in to rename the labels of the properties object.
When you right click on properties these are the tabs
General Summary Project Status Custom Save Physical

Under Summary

Look at the posts in IV7 news group named:

Survey: iProps Wizard Question

and

iProp Wizard Usage Suggestions

Perhaps this will help you when I'm done with it. You cannot change the
Inventor properties dialogue. But you can use a replacement

Is it possible to get some sample code of how we can change label properties (example company in the summary tab of properties)

You would have to create your own form. I don't think there is any way to change the
existing labels in the iProperties dialog. I think there might be a example of something
similar in the SDK folder.

I am very new to API in Inventor
I am not new to programming or VBA

Can you tell me if I am thinking correctly
of how to put in different properties
1. Create a addin .dll with a form with properties that i want
2. Create a new propertyset with new properties(this is in the sdk)
The addin .dll will show the form with the new properties

How do i get the new form to override the current properties form?

How come in the sdk they use apprentice server instead of inventor

i see the new form in the sdk and i see the new propertyset and the new properties How do you get the new form to be the one that pops up when they click the properties menu item

Help Please???

I don't know if it is possible or not to override the current properties form. I am
guessing not, but could easily be wrong.

Apprentice server is a smaller light weight subset of the Inventor API. You can use it
in anything from Excel and Word to VB. If all you are doing is properties then it is
probably the best way to go. I don't know what example your are talking about in the sdk,
but if it is a addin.dll I don't know why they would use apprentice since the dll has to
run in process inside Inventor. I am thinking it is probably a EXE?

I think the best you could do (at least to my knowledge) is to add a toolbutton or some
way to bring up your properties dialog rather than the built in one.

I am kind of curious why you need more than what Custom Properties offer?
