Properties

Define your custom or standard properties to be displayed and manipulated by Flow.

• Name is the Inventor property name.
• For standard properties, make sure the spelling matches the predefined Inventor standard property name.
• Display name is the alias shown in the Property Edit panel.
• Check Custom property to define a custom Inventor iProperty.
• Check Read-only if the property should be displayed but not edited.

You can define multiple properties with the same name for use with different definitions in different document categories. You can also define hide rules so a property is hidden from the Property Edit panel when the rule evaluates to true.

Example: a property can be used in the document category Assembly, but be hidden if custom iProperty Layout is not Yes.

The iProperty name used by rules can refer to any Inventor iProperty; it does not have to be defined in Flow configuration.

Linked lists

Select Linked lists when the values for one property depend on the current value of another iProperty. The linked-list source can be a standard or custom Inventor iProperty. Each mapping links a source value to one configured list by unique list ID, so list renaming does not break the link.
