# iProperties Synchronization

Have your document iProperties always synchronized!

> What can be more tedious and error-prone than manually keeping the same information up to date in multiple locations? With T4I's synchronization tool, you'll no longer need to retype anything.

To better use the document iProperties, iProperties can be synchronized bi-directionally between the model (part, assembly) and its drawing.

## Setup your iProperties synchronization

1. Go to Be.Smart T4I (ribbon) -> Be.Smart T4I (panel) -> Edit settings -> Auto iProperties tab, and on the `Synchronize` tab select the synchronization direction (`Drawing -> Model` or `Model -> Drawing`) you want to set up. Then enable the `Automatic synchronization` for the selected sync direction.<br>

2. Choose the iProperties you want to get synchronized. You can alter the view of the iProperties’ lists by using the “Filter” button at the lower left corner of the window.<br>

3. Repeat the same process for the other synchronization direction.

The synchronized properties may be different for both directions.

{% tab title="Model -> Drawing (On Open)" %}
If you change the selected iProperties in the model properties (part or assembly file) and save the file, the iProperties will be synchronized to the iProperties of the drawing when you **open the drawing**.

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Drawing -> Model (On Save)" %}
If you change the selected iProperties in the drawing properties and save the file, the iProperties will be synchronized to the iProperties of the associated model when you **save the drawing**.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://help.besmart.software/t4i/quick-start-guide/automatize-your-iproperties-workflows/iproperties-synchronization.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
