New: Oct 2023 - Inventor 2023+: iPropWiz 7.23 and later version enable you to edit properties associated with one or more model states in a part or assembly document. As with other iPropWiz functionality, an administrator can control if and how this functionality works for each iPropWiz configuration. To enable model state property editing, you must activate it in the Configuration Editor. Options include user disabling and options for updates to physical properties when working with model states. For information on working with model state properties in the iPropWiz Property Editor, see the Property Editor - Model States page.
 

 

 

Enable / Disable

Model state property management is controlled per configuration. Toggle on to enable this in the iPropWiz Property Editor (PE). If toggled off, all property edits are applied to the File property sets which ensure that all model states in the document, if any will have the same property values. When active, users have options as to how model state properties are displayed in the PE. For information on working with model state properties in the iPropWiz Property Editor, see the Property Editor - Model States page

User disable

If model state property management is activated in a configuration, this option controls whether a user can disable this functionality in the PE. If a user disables model state property management, the user interface controls for this are removed from the PE. If this is made available to users they can toggle model state property management on and off at any time.

Exported physical properties

One of the model state property management modes in the PE enables users to select one or more model states in the active document (the document shown in the Inventor graphics window) and edit properties for the selected model states. Since model states in a document often have variations in physical property values such as model extents or mass, updating these values becomes a concern. The effect of this option is split between part and assembly documents. Toggling this option on for the document type forces iPropWiz to update any exported physical properties for all model states when the Apply or OK button is pressed in the PE. This does come at a cost as each of the model states must be activated in the background to ensure these properties are calculated correctly. When toggled off, the physical properties are updated only for the currently selected model states.
