When this option is checked, SmartProperties saves the full path of the XML file used in the XmlPath property (in our example) upon validation.

Once this option is checked and the property exists, SmartProperties will no longer take into account the options in the XML files based on the document type when it launches. It will open the XML file specified in the property.


 


When using a " Link to Another XML File " property , so that when properties are applied using an input mask, the same input mask is automatically used the next time the file is opened.

If you want to use a different data entry form for sales documents and production documents, and you have different document templates for these two types, simply create and populate this property in the document template; SmartProperties will then launch the correct form based on the selected document template.

When selecting multiple components in an assembly, this property will not be created even if the option is checked.


" Do not automatically modify this property … ": SmartProperties will only read the property and display the corresponding input field.

If you want to modify the property, you'll need to do so manually in your SmartProperties input forms or in the SOLIDWORKS document templates (with the .dot extension).
