Multi-Property Lists

iPropWiz provides three different multi-property list types. All three share common functionality in that a single "Primary" value is associated with a list row, and the list row can contain up to nine (9) secondary values that are assigned to separate properties. A summary of the three multi-property list types is shown in the following table. All three lists can only be applied to text based Inventor properties.

List Type	Primary Value	Secondary Value
Multi-property Text list	An iPropWiz configuration defined text value or expression. The primary value is assigned to a property included in the current iPropWiz configuration.	Fixed values or name of simple text list or multi-level tree list.
Multi-property Parameter list	A comparative statement that is evaluated with the current value of a named parameter. When the value of the parameter is modified in Autodesk Inventor iPropWiz evaluates all comparisons (rows in the list), in order. If the comparison returns TRUE, the comparisons stops and the Inventor properties assigned to the secondary value list(s) are updated with the values from that list row.	Fixed values or name of simple text list or multi-level tree list.
Multi-property Material list	A material asset name selected from all material assets included in the current iPropWiz configuration. When the material of an Inventor part or sheet metal part is changed, iPropWiz tries to match the current material to a material asset name in the list. If a match is found, Inventor properties assigned to the secondary value list(s) are updated with the values from that list row.	Fixed values or name of simple text list or multi-level tree list.

Secondary Value Lists (Secondary Fields)

A multi-property list can control a number of property values in a configuration property set (i.e. the properties for a specific document type). The list consists of a primary value list, and one or more secondary value lists. Each value list has the same number of rows. When a value from the primary list is either assigned to a property in the iPropWiz Property Editor ( PE ) (Multi-property text list) or evaluated to be true (Parameter and Material multi-property lists), the corresponding values in the secondary value lists are assigned to other properties, as defined in the current iPropWiz configuration.

Each secondary value can be either a fixed text value (e.g. "Bin 35"), or a Simple Text or Multi-level Tree list.

The following illustration shows the structure of a Multi-property Text list. The example below outlines how values are assigned from the list in the iPropWiz Property Editor.

Secondary Value Lists

Each column represents a list where the value in the row corresponding to the applied "Primary Value" is applied to an assigned "Secondary" property.

The example below outlines assignment of secondary values from a Multi-property Text list. The example references the above image.

The assignment can be either:

A fixed text value. For example, if the Epoxy G4 primary value is assigned to a property value, the property assigned the "Spec1" secondary list would be assigned the fixed value CTE-E-G4. A third property assigned the "Spec2" secondary list would be assigned the fixed text value None.

A Simple Text list (single selection) or Multi-level Tree list. For example, if the Epoxy Base primary value is assigned to a property value, the property assigned the "Spec1" secondary list would be assigned the global Finish list. The asterisk indicates the list is a global list. The user would be able to select a value from the Finish list in the iPropWiz Property Editor. A third property assigned the "Spec2" secondary list would be assigned the fixed text value CTG-100-2.

Note: Each cell in the secondary value columns has a drop down list of all the valid simple Text and Tree lists in the current iPropWiz configuration..

Delete Columns

Displays a dialog that enables you to select and delete any combination of secondary value lists.

Add Column

Click to add a single secondary value list. You are prompted to name the list, which must be unique.

Note: Double-click the secondary value list header in the List Editor to rename the secondary value list.
