Description
Autodesk Inventor files have properties called iProperties (note that this design name combines "inv" for inventor and "iproperty," with a small "i" before "Property").
This Design gives access to read and write those eligible properties. Only in the case of user defined properties, a property is created if it does not exist. The following table lists the propertyset name and its corresponding properties for Inventor 2019:
