iLogic - how to get part material and path from a drawing?

If you need - in Inventor drawing environment - to process (e.g. convert to uppercase) and display (e.g. in the title block) the material name and file name or path of the source IPT part, you can use the following fragment of an iLogic rule - it creates two custom iProperties with the requested values:

modelName = IO.Path.GetFileName(ThisDrawing.ModelDocument.FullFileName) 'or GetFullPath  
iProperties.Value("Custom", "MyPartMaterial") = UCase(iProperties.Material(modelName))  
iProperties.Value("Custom", "MyPartFile") = UCase(modelName)
