How are drawing sheets named, and how can I rename or delete them?

HANDBRAKE is one of the most popular and free video conversion tools.

It is open source, easy to use, and works on Windows and Mac.

No, Apprentice Server cannot export Inventor part files (*.ipt) to formats like SAT, IGES, or STEP.

Recommended Steps

1. Ensure All Changes Are Saved

   
   ' After updating properties
   oDoc.Save()
   

2. Force Update of Drawing Views

   
   oDrawingDocument.Update()
   

3. Use Inventor's Built-in DWF Export

   
   oDrawingDocument.SaveAs("C:\Path\To\File.dwf", True)
   

4. Verify Property Source in Title Block
   • Open the title block definition.
   • Check if the field is pulling from <Current Drawing> or <Primary Model>.
   • If it's <Primary Model>, ensure the model file is updated and saved.

Use Custom iProperties (Simple Metadata Storage)

Inventor documents support custom iProperties, which are ideal for storing small text data like tags, GUIDs, or configuration flags.

Writing iProperty in VC++ (via COM):

CComPtr<Inventor::Document> pDoc = ...; // Get active document
CComPtr<Inventor::PropertySet> pPropSet;
HRESULT hr = pDoc->PropertySets->Item(CComVariant("Inventor User Defined Properties"), &pPropSet);

CComPtr<Inventor::Property> pProp;
try {
    pPropSet->Add(CComVariant("MyTextData"), CComVariant("Hello from VC++"), CComVariant("MyCustomProp"), &pProp);
} catch (...) {
    // If already exists, update it
    pPropSet->Item(CComVariant("MyCustomProp"), &pProp);
    pProp->PutValue(CComVariant("Updated Text"));
}

You can use Inventor’s TransientGeometry and CurveEvaluator objects to find the intersection between two curves or edges.
