By selecting this icon, you can set certain parameters for the automatic creation of properties linked to the assigned colors.
When you want to apply a color to a part within an assembly or to the assembly itself, you can automatically create named properties.
To create properties for a component within an assembly, you must:
- Select it in the FeatureManager
- Select filter
in the icon bar - Then double-click the color you want to apply.
If you don't select the component, the properties will be created. The color will not be applied to the component. The color will only be applied to the part in the context of the assembly.
As the message specifies, the property will be created automatically by simply dragging and dropping onto a component in the assembly. In an assembly, properties are created in the part when you select "Part" from the toolbar. However, properties will not be created if you perform this action within the "Part" context.
The user can choose to create properties on the document, on the active configuration, or on both.
Example:
We checked all 5 options to create the 5 properties in the part. When we dragged the "Steel Blue" color onto the "230-Clamping Screw" part in our assembly, the 5 properties were successfully created: The standard (RGB), the category (Blue), the color (Steel Blue), the hexadecimal values (RGB), and the color code.
If the "Active Configuration" option is checked, the properties will be created in the "Configuration-Specific" tab:
