Practice exercise

00:01

This is a practice exercise video solution

00:05

for this practice exercise. We use the supplied data set custom property dot IP T.

00:10

This can be found in the practice subfolder inside of the inventor project files.

00:15

We want to take a look at using user parameters inside of a custom I property.

00:20

The first thing that we need to do is identify

00:21

the user parameters for whole space X and whole space Y

00:25

and select them for export.

00:28

Once we do that,

00:29

we can navigate to the custom I properties at the top of our browser,

00:33

go to I properties and under custom note that both whole space

00:37

X and whole space Y are now populated

00:40

from here.

00:40

We're going to go to our project and under description,

00:43

we want to create a custom I property that lists the whole spacing.

00:46

So that way we can have an idea of what the whole spacing is for this part

00:51

to do this. We start by simply selecting equals and then we can type in plate, whole

00:58

pattern

00:59

is in plain text.

01:01

And then we can use our brackets to use whole

01:05

space X close bracket

01:08

capital X

01:09

and whole space Y

01:13

now it's important that these are case sensitive. We're gonna hit enter

01:16

and notice that the custom property has an FX on the right hand side

01:20

and it says plate hole pattern is one inch by two inch.

01:25

If we select clothes go back to our

01:27

user parameters and make some modifications to this.

01:30

For example, let's make it 1.5 by two.

01:34

If we go back to our customized properties

01:37

under our project description,

01:39

we should see that it updates with 1.5 by two inches

01:43

using user parameters inside of your custom I properties

01:46

is a great way to ensure that data in the

01:48

design can be populated downstream in things like detailed

01:51

drawings or when it's checked into a PDM system.
