This section allows you to select settings related to the SOLIDWORKS environment:

  • Custom Property - By checking this option, you can select a property name from a list of options. This list displays the contents of the Properties.txt file defined in the SOLIDWORKS General Options. If you enter your file properties using the SmartProperties tool, you can configure this list to reflect the input masks set up in SmartProperties (defined in myCADPassport). You can also enter a property manually if it is not listed.







  • SOLIDWORKS Variables - By checking this option, you can retrieve a value generated by SOLIDWORKS: for example, the coordinates of the center of gravity, moments of inertia, mass, etc.


For the "unit of mass" property value to display the SW formula, the file must be in Version 2024 or later and Opened in SOLIDWORKS.






  • Document Variables - By checking this option, you will retrieve the values of the properties stored by Windows: for example, the creation date, the file location, the folder name, the file name, the size, etc.






  • Counter - By checking this option, you can retrieve a counter that you use with certain tools, such as SmartProperties. (See Counter.) Select the counter from the list.





Advanced options - For each of the selected fields, you can access advanced options to retrieve all or part of the values, simply by clicking on the icon .
