iProperties dialog box

Every Autodesk Inventor file has a set of properties called iProperties. Use iProperties to track and manage files, create reports, and update a bill of materials, parts lists, title blocks, and other information automatically. Some iProperties are automatically set, but you can decide which other properties to use.

Access:

Right-click the file name in the Autodesk Inventor or Design Assistant browser or Windows Explorer, and select iProperties.

You can create and edit expressions for text type iProperties in the Properties dialog box. An expression contains a combination of custom texts and Parameter and iProperty names enclosed by brackets. The Parameter and iProperty names are substituted by the Parameter and iProperty value, when the expression is evaluated. The iProperties fields that include an expression, are marked by the expression icon , and the tooltip shows the current expression.

See Work with iProperties in files or templates for more information.
