When the user wishes to define a field to retrieve the value of a SOLIDWORKS document property, a system variable or simply to define a fixed value, simply click on the icon (Add a field). This function allows you to concatenate several values.


 


This window allows you to select the field type that defines a property's value. Depending on the selected field type, certain information is available, and an icon indicates the field type being used. You can specify one or more fields.

The fields can be edited:

    • By double-clicking the field.
    • Use drag-and-drop with the mouse if multiple fields are defined.

Right-clicking with the mouse brings up a context menu that allows you to:

    • Just copy one field and paste it at the end.
    • Copy all the fields to assign them to another property.
    • To delete a field.
    • Delete all fields to reset.
    • To force the result to be in lowercase.
    • To force the result to be in uppercase.
