When you launch SmartProperties on an assembly document, the " Show Properties of: " field displays the name of the document to which the properties will be applied and the configuration option selected.


 


Just as with a part drawing, you can apply properties to the components of the assembly by clicking on the component in the tree.


This will allow you to modify the following properties:

  • Components of the assembly
    • Part and Assembly


 


    • Selecting multiple components using the "Ctrl" key


  


  • Welded Parts Articles
    • Single or multiple selection



The input form is defined in the SmartProperties settings. By default, there is a different input form for each document type.

In this case, the bedbug () is useful for keeping SmartProperties displayed after properties have been applied, so that you can modify the properties of several weldments without having to relaunch SmartProperties each time.


From within the assembly view, you can right-click a component to launch the SmartProperties tool directly from the context menu icons. You can select the component (part or assembly) either in the graphics area or in the PropertyManager.
