Synchronization of iProperties

Workflow overview (Automatic synchronization)

On the tab Synchronize, select iProperties to be synchronized between the model and drawing, and select the synchronization direction (from/to Model to/from Drawing). On Open means the iProperties are synchronized from the model to the drawing when the drawing is opened, whereas On Save means the model properties are updated after saving the drawing.

The Filter button at the bottom left corner of the window helps you to sort out the available properties into more convenient categories, like Summary-related, Project-related, or file Status-related. By default, this filter is turned on (the button is bluish). After disabling the filter, the properties are sorted differently into the following categories: (general) Summary Information, Document Summary Information, and Design Tracking Properties.

Workflow example

Given the specific settings depicted in the image above, two iProperties (Description and Authority) will be updated upon opening the drawing file based on the changes in the model file.

Workflow overview (Manual synchronization)

Moreover, changes to the iProperties of the model/drawing can be immediately projected to the respective file without waiting for the "automatic event" (e.g. opening the drawing). In such a case, Model to Drawing or Drawing to Model commands from Be.Smart T4I -> iProperties Transfer can be used.

See more information in iProperties Transfer section.
