List of default properties - This option allows to fill in the list of properties proposed in some tools (BatchProperties BatchConverter, SmartDrawings, etc...):

    • to retrieve the properties contained in the 'Properties.txt' file specified in the SOLIDWORKS options (with the possibility to edit the file)


 


    • to use the input masks (part, assembly, drawing) to define the list of custom properties proposed by some tools. This list can be edited if you wish to add properties.


 


Use this icon to point to a saved list.

Use this icon to update this list, for example if you have made changes to your SmartProperties input masks.

The properties will be displayed in the order defined in this window. You can change this order by using the UP-DOWN arrows on the right side of the window.
