How can I set the same Description iProperty on all .ipt files in a folder using VBA?

Yes. QuickBooks can connect to apps such as Shopify, BigCommerce, Square, PayPal, and other sales tools you may already be using

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.

You can monitor Inventor commands using the UserInterfaceEvents.OnActivateCommand event. The command name for Vault check-in is:

'VaultCheckinTop'

So in your Inventor Add-In, you can do:

AddHandler ThisApplication.UserInterfaceManager.UserInterfaceEvents.OnActivateCommand, AddressOf OnCommandActivated

Private Sub OnCommandActivated(CommandName As String)
    If CommandName = "VaultCheckinTop" Then
        ' Your logic here: activate all sheets
    End If
End Sub

This lets you intercept the moment the user initiates a Vault check-in from Inventor.

If the fx parameter is derived from another editable parameter, you can:

• Use VBA to change the base parameter.
• The fx parameter will update automatically.

Dim oPartDoc As PartDocument
Set oPartDoc = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument

Dim oParams As Parameters
Set oParams = oPartDoc.ComponentDefinition.Parameters

oParams.Item(\"BaseLength\").Value = 10 ' This affects fx parameters that depend on BaseLength

BOM Sorting via Inventor API

1. Structured BOM View Access
   You can access and manipulate the Structured BOM using:

   
   Dim oBOM As BOM
   Set oBOM = oAssemblyDoc.ComponentDefinition.BOM
   
   oBOM.StructuredViewEnabled = True
   
   Dim oBOMView As BOMView
   Set oBOMView = oBOM.BOMViews.Item("Structured")
           

2. Manual Sorting via Code
   The API does not provide direct sorting methods like .SortBy("Part Number"), but you can:
   • Extract BOMRows into a list
   • Sort them manually (e.g., by Part Number, Description, Quantity)
   • Rebuild or export the sorted data as needed

   Example:

   
   Dim sortedRows
   Set sortedRows = oBOMView.BOMRows ' Apply custom sorting logic as needed
           

   You can then use this sorted list for:

   • Exporting to Excel or text
   • Creating a custom report
   • Rebuilding a virtual BOM structure
3. iLogic-Based Sorting
   If you're open to using iLogic, you can configure BOM sorting by exporting the BOM layout as XML and applying custom rules:
