Recently I’ve been asked for advice on how to get Vault to show the Material property value for part drawings.
Text placed in an Inventor drawing (i.e. in the title block) can read primary model properties, allowing a part drawing to show the Material of the part it references.
However, a drawing file does not have a Material property of its own. Because of this, Vault cannot display a value for this property for drawings.
iLogic can be used to help in this scenario. A rule in a Part drawing template can write the model Material property value from the model referenced in the base view into a custom iProperty in the drawing. That custom iProperty is "PartMaterial" in the code below but it can be changed.
Once the PartMaterial custom iProperty exists in a drawing, it can be mapped to the Vault Material property, so Vault can show this value in the Material field.
I suggest using event triggers to get the code to run automatically.
