Property Editor

The ‘Property Editor’ may be seen as replacement for the standard Inventor ‘iProperty’ dialog. It provides a number of valuable additions, such as:

• Custom names for iProperties

• Only those properties are visible that are used within your organization.

• Possibility to use dropdown lists.

• Possibility to set certain properties as required.

From within the following Inventor environments, you can configure the properties:

In the image below the Property Editor is shown. The fields in the dialog can be configured per environment. Click here for more information on the configuration of the Property Editor fields.

The command can be used in the following ways:

Automatically on document save.

If the ‘Auto Show On Initial Save’ option is enabled on the General tab of the Tools Options, the form will automatically be shown when saving an Inventor document for the first time. This is also the case for documents made in Frame Generator for example, but not for Content Center generated documents.

Manually by using the button on the ribbon

If you want to view or modify the iProperties of the active Inventor document, you can launch the form by clicking on the 'Property Editor' in the NXTdim tools ribbon.
