Using a simple drag-and-drop, place the " Material Selection " icon in the desired location in the " Properties " column. Alternatively, double-click the "Material Selection " icon.

This type of property allows you to select a material.

This is the only property that cannot be included in a group. This is because the size of this field can vary in order to display the contents of the material databases.


 


This field allows you to assign the material to the document and copy the properties of the material defined in the Custom tab to the SW document properties (Name -> Value)

 


Set the default height of the display in the PropertyManager for this dialog box (here, 300 pixels).

This dialog box lists the contents of the material databases defined in the SOLIDWORKS General Options.

 

 


An icon bar is available in this dialog box to filter the display.  

From the list—which can quickly become quite long—if you want to display all materials whose names begin with “...,” simply enter that word in the field provided.


These are the same options found in the filter interface of the SelectMaterials tool.
