When columns need to point to certain properties, they can retrieve :

    • Customized SOLIDWORKS document properties.
    • Configuration-specific properties.
    • Either custom properties, unless this property exists in the configuration

This choice can be combined with the extraction of properties defined in the mecano-welded file, if available.

For configuration-specific properties, it is possible to refine the choice.


 


In fact, when you ask for a bill of materials on selected components from a folder, you can retrieve :

    • Property values specific to the active configuration of the document being processed.
    • The property values of a particular named configuration.
    • The values of all the configurations in the document being processed.

The advantage of using this feature is that you can extract and export a list in Excel format with all the properties, then modify the values directly in the file to modify all the properties of the documents listed with the '' tool.Integration'' from myCADtools.


by checking this option, you authorize the modification of property values directly from the BOM generated by SmartBom. This option is only active if you authorize the modification of values in the "Column settings".
