    Default Multiple languages for title block and parts list

    Registered forum members do not see this ad.

    Is it possible to create a drawing in wich you switch between 2 laguages.
    I would like to use the same drawing for our own workers here in the netherlands and a company in Poland.
    So I need one partslist in dutch and one in english. I don't want to make two separate drawings, because then I would have to update two drawings if changes are made.

    There was a post or a suggestion about using a lisp etc to change the text it would not be hard to do create a 2nd layer with new text at same location biggest problem would be the data dictionary to compare. If happy with this start with something like Lee-mac's search and replace.

    I do not believe Inventor can use LISP.

    I managed to switch the titleblock with I-logic, but I couldn't find something in I-logic for the partslist. Maybe someone could help me with that.
