Define Asset Properties

Autodesk Inventor files have properties called iProperties. They are used to track and manage files, create reports, and automatically update assembly bills of materials, drawing parts lists, title blocks, and other information. Factory assets also have properties very similar to iProperties. These properties can be defined using iProperties or by using the Asset Properties command.

Author and part number properties are set automatically in new Factory part files and assembly layouts.

Asset Properties dialog - General tab

The General tab shows the name, author, and other statistics for the active Inventor Factory asset. Although several of these fields are populated automatically, they can be changed.

Asset Properties dialog - Custom tab

The Custom tab adds custom properties to the selected asset. Use custom properties to classify and manage your Factory assets, search for assets, create reports, and automatically update parts lists in drawings and bills of materials in assemblies.
