Update Inventor File

Writes new parameter values and iProperty values into a local Autodesk Inventor document and saves the file.

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 push data back into an Inventor file — for example, to apply configuration dimensions received from a configurator, to stamp a generated part number onto an assembly's iProperties, or to update revision and description fields before triggering an export or check-in. The task opens the document through the locally installed Inventor instance, applies the supplied changes, saves the file, and returns the values that were written.

Inputs

Field	Type	Required	Description
Local File Full Path	Text	Yes	Full path to the Inventor part (.ipt), assembly (.iam), or drawing (.idw) to update.

Properties	Key-Value Pairs	No	iProperty names mapped to new values (e.g., Part Number → ABC-123, Description → Mounting Bracket).

Outputs
