Configuration Editor - iProperty Browser

In the iPropWiz Configuration Editor the iProperty Browser displays all iProperties that are available to be added to the current property set, including Custom iProperties. The iProperty Browser is populated from the properties in the active Autodesk Inventor document. The node icons indicate the data type of the property.

Note: It is highly recommended that you create and manage your iPropWiz configurations using the appropriate template file. For example, to set up the properties for your part documents, open your part template file or a part document created from the template before activating the iPropWiz Configuration Editor.

Add exported properties	All active exported physical properties in the current iPropWiz configuration are added to the current Autodesk Inventor document. This enables you to use these properties when defining property expressions.

Notes: Properties that are added to the Property Grid are removed from the iProperty Browser. Properties removed from the Property Grid are restored in the iProperty Browser.

It is highly recommended that you open an appropriate template document before creating the iPropWiz Property Set for that document type (e.g. Part). This is especially important if you want to create property expressions that drive property values.

Once a property is added to the property grid, there is no link maintained with the current document.
