This section allows you to add properties to sheet metal folders and manage the position of these properties in the views you create (below or in the center of the unfolded views) for laser cutting.

The part's name can also be displayed between the view and the properties, which is useful, for example, for parts with a single solid.


"Manage Properties" - Click this button to add properties. This will also add a column.

By selecting a property, you can change the order in which properties are displayed on drawing views; to do this, use the "UP" and "DOWN" arrows.

This order will also be included in the CSV export.


 


By default, 5 columns are displayed, and they cannot be deleted.

Click " Add " if you want to complete the information. You can either add one of the pieces of information provided by SOLIDWORKS or enter a property listed in the " Welded Parts " section.

You can change the column header name by double-clicking the label.


 


You can adjust the column width by double-clicking the value.


 


In any case, it will always be possible to change this width dynamically (the Windows way).


 


You can change the order of the columns by selecting the property and then clicking the "UP" and "DOWN" arrows. In this example, the "Material" column will be moved to the last position.


 


Here is an example of the output with an additional column and the "Material" column moved:


 


With regard to the material, the material assigned to a body will always take precedence over the material assigned to the part.

Example:

The material assigned to the part is different from the one assigned to a sheet metal body; each associated material is clearly displayed on the bodies.


 


When a configuration is created in a part document, you can specify in that configuration's properties which name will be used for the bill of materials. You can add a column to display this information.
