#Inventor #iLogic tip: Update automatically drawing properties from model iProperties

You have copied some model iProperties in the drawing file of the model, following for instance the steps described in this article.


Of course you want to keep the model and drawing properties in sync, but you want to do that automatically, without having to remember to hit the “Update Copied Properties” button in the drawing.


In order to do that, you need to follow the steps below in the drawing.

  • Menu Manage > iLogic > Add Rule.

Add Rule

  • Create a rule using the Script you can download here.

Rule

  • Menu Manage > iLogic > Event Triggers.

Event Triggers

  • Set the rule to run on the After Open Document and/or Before Save Document events or other events you may find more appropriate.

Triggers

If you want, you can apply the steps above in a new drawing and save it as template.

Nice post from the beinginventive blog with a great auto-synch for part/assy iproperties that are being used in the drawing file.
