Summary: The ability to copy properties like color, line type and dimension tolerancing similar to property painters in other programs.
Description: i would like to see what can be provided in the way of something like a "format painter" for entities in inventor ipt and idw environment such as we are familiar with in autocad _matchprop command.
even with styles and templates set well, there is still opportunity for repetition of misc tasks.
How Used: 1) example would be for dimensions that require special properties / tolerances other than the major percentage of those required in a detail drawing. you could edit one dimension to show critical tolerances and then after ocmpletion, paint the sorce properties to a destination dimension quickly on multiple items. i guess to summarise it is for the same reasons we have it in autocad. (it is very handy in autocad even when templates and dimension styles are set up very well).
2) line type / colours etc. now with inventor sketch tools being improved with regard to line colours and thickness and type, this would enhance the already welcome sketching power we are beginning to see some attention to.
Feature Affinity: Part Modeling
