By a simple drag and drop we drop the icon ''.Material selectionto the desired location in the column ''.Properties''. Or ''Double click'' on the icon ''.Material selection''.

This type of property allows you to select a material.

This is the only property that cannot be inserted in a group. This is due to the fact that the size of this field can be variable in order to display the contents of the material databases.


 


This type allows to assign the material to the document and copy the properties of the material defined in the custom tab into the SW document properties (Name ->Value)

 


We define the default height of the display, in the PropertyManager, of this dialog box (here 300 pixels).

This dialog box lists the contents of the material databases defined in the SOLIDWORKS general options.

 

 


An icon bar is available in this dialog box to filter the display   

Among the list, which can quickly become large, if you want to display all materials whose name begins with ''....Just enter the word in the field provided.


We find the same options as in   the filter interface of the SelectMaterials tool
