In SOLIDWORKS documents, properties can be assigned to the document and/or to specific configurations.

In this options window, we define the context in which the properties will be read or applied.


 


  • " Reading Properties ":

For example, we will test the properties on the " Clearance " configuration, if it exists.

Properties can be read from the active configuration and from the document if the property is not present in the active configuration.


  • " Application of Properties ":

For example, the properties will be applied to the " Open Position " configuration, if it exists.


This can therefore be very useful for retrieving the properties of one configuration and applying them to another.
