Customizing Key Parameters

Create a Factory Name, group, custom tooltip, and sort columns..

Having the flexibility to customize key parameters enables you to better organize the parameters of your asset instances in a layout. When you customize your key parameters in the Inventor Factory utility, these customized asset definitions are updated in AutoCAD Factory, Navisworks Factory, Vault Factory, and Inventor Factory through the Update Assets command in the Factory ribbon.
