Get Inventor File Info

Reads parameters, iProperties, and file references from a local Autodesk Inventor document.

Serialised Task

This task runs through the serialisation queue. Only one instance of this task executes at a time across all concurrent workflows. If multiple workflows reach this task simultaneously, they will queue and execute one at a time.

Purpose

Use this task when a workflow needs to inspect an Inventor file before acting on it — for example, to read a part number or revision before updating a document management system, to validate parameter values before triggering an export, or to collect the full list of referenced files for dependency checking. The task opens the document through the locally installed Inventor instance and returns all user-defined parameters, iProperties, and external file references without modifying the file.
