Wait to here from you iPropWiz administrator. They will notify you with the location of the iPropWiz configurations folder and if they have created multiple iPropWiz configurations, the name of the configuration to activate. You will need this information in order to open the PE for the first time.

2.

Open Autodesk Inventor. Open a document that requires property values to be entered. Most property entry is performed in part, sheet metal, and assembly documents, but properties in any Autodesk Inventor document can be managed by iPropWiz.

3.

On the Autodesk Inventor Ribbon > Add Ins tab > iPropWiz panel, click iPropWiz

4.

You are prompted to browse for the folder containing the iPropWiz configurations. Select the folder sent to you by the iPropWiz administrator and click OK.

The property grid fills with the configuration defined properties for the document type you opened. The Value cell in the first row of the grid is highlighted. In the following example, this property is not editable so the text appears dimmed.

See the iPropWiz Property Editor page for an overview of the PE.

See the Property Grid - Navigation page for information on navigating in the grid.

See the Property Grid - Value editing page for general information on editing property values and for links on more detailed topics.

7.

Some of the Value column cells have drop-down arrows. This is typically associated with a list that you can select from tor the property value. See the Property Grid - Property lists page for more information on working with lists in the PE.

8.

The PE toolbar provides a number of productivity tools and access to options for the PE. See the Property Editor - Toolbar page for more information.

9.

Open an Autodesk Inventor assembly document. The PE updates to reflect the configuration defined properties for assembly documents, and the associated iProperty values from the assembly document are shown in the grid.

Click on a single component occurrence in the Autodesk Inventor graphics window, The PE updates to reflect the properties of that document type, and the values from the document underlying the component occurrence.

Make a selection of two different components. The PE updates to reflect property values from both referenced documents. If the values are different, the value cell shows *VARIES* or the local language equivalent.

Expand the Selection group on the left edge of the PE. The PE contains tools for enhanced document selection that compliment the selection process described above. See the Property Editor - Document Selection page for more information on document selection and the PE.
