How do you apply a part's properties to all the components of a welded assembly?
Our hotline teams are asked this question very often. The SmartProperties tool allows you to perform this task.
You must use the " Referenced Document Property " type in the SmartProperties tool.
- If the active document is a mechanically welded part and the selection is a welded part item, the property is retrieved from the 3D model and assigned to the selected welded part item.
- If the active document is a mechanically welded part and the selection consists of a single part, the property is retrieved from the first welded part item and assigned to the 3D document.
But that's not all:
- If the active document is a drawing, the property is retrieved from the 3D model and assigned to the drawing.
- If the active document is an assembly and the selection is a component of the assembly, the assembly's property is retrieved and assigned to the selected document.
