General Usage Instructions

From the left checkbox menu, select the type of items you wish to be displayed in the "Open Documents" list. This will display any corresponding files that are currently open within Inventor.

Select an item from the "Open Documents" list to load the related files in the "Referenced Documents" list. The reference list can be colour-coded to represent various document attributes. These, along with many other options are available from the Settings menu.

Once the documents have been selected, perform any modifications to these documents from the list of checkboxes on the right-hand side. The "Part Action" boxes relate to models or assemblies, and the "Drawing Action" boxes relate only to the drawings. The "iProperties" box opens a list of the iProperties for both the drawings and models.

If the experimental features is enabled, these actions are performed on the items selected in the "Open Documents" list.

A playlist of tutorials is available through the help menu or by going to the Batch Program Tutorials Playlist
