Copy design properties between files

You can set design properties for an Autodesk Inventor file and then copy those properties to other Autodesk Inventor files. Design properties can be used to classify, manage, and search for files, to create reports, and to automatically update title blocks and parts lists in drawings.

Note: If the active project is set to shared or semi-isolated, you cannot copy properties to a file that is checked out to someone else or into the workgroup version of a file.
  1. Open Design Assistant, either within Autodesk Inventor or from Microsoft Windows Explorer.
  2. Select Tools Copy Design Properties to open the dialog box. (Available only when Properties is active.)
  3. In the Copy From box, set the source file for the properties.
  4. Select the property group and the properties to copy.
  5. Select the destination files for the properties.
  6. Click Copy to copy the properties.
Tip: To automatically set properties when you create new files, set the properties in the templates that you use to create files.
