I can't seem to get get Ent PDM variables to map to the Inventor iProperty "Stock Number". I've tried variations on the dtproperties and no luck. Any ideas?

As far as I understand it, create the variable in EPDM using dtproperties as the block name and then StockNumber as the attribute name (notice there's no space in Stock Number). Make sure you have the correct file extensions and that should set EPMD up. This is directly out of the admin manual in the back of the book:

Variable name: Stock number
Inventor Prop name: Stock Number
Block name: DTProperties
Attribute name: StockNumber

Hope that helps.

  Looks like I cannot get EPDM to push data to that Inventor property.
  
  It must not be supported by EPDM.

Mike - It is supported. What versions of each are you running? Is it just the Stock Number that you're having problems with?

If you drag/drop and Inventor part into EPDM, it should pick up the property mappings just like it does in SolidWorks.

  I am using EPDM 2009 SP2. Inventor 2009.
  
  I am trying to push data from the EPDM template card to the Inventor dtproperty for new files so that it works with my customer's inventor templates.
  
  It is the Stock Number property that I cannot seem to push data to. I can use my EPDM Template file card to push Part Number and other data but just cannot seem to get that one to work.

    Hi Mike,
    try using "55" as attribute name in your mapping instead, which is the id of property "Stock Number".
