Accessing iProperties through iLogic code

By Chandra shekar Gopal

iProperty is a set of attributes for each Inventor file such as part number, description and physical material. You can also create custom iProperties.

From each document you can access its associated iProperties. iProperties are used to track and manage files, create reports, and automatically update assembly bills of materials, drawing parts lists, title blocks, and other information.

For more details on importance and structure of iProperties, you can refer this link. Now, many people used to ask iLogic code to access iPropeties. Below table gives list of iProperties and respective iLogic code.
