List of default properties —this option allows you to specify the list of properties offered in certain tools (BatchProperties, BatchConverter, SmartDrawings, etc.):

    • to retrieve the properties contained in the 'Properties.txt' file specified in the SOLIDWORKS options (with the option to edit the file)


 


    • to use the input masks (part, assembly, drawing) to define the list of custom properties offered by certain tools. You can edit this list if you want to add properties.

Click on this icon to add a property to the list. The type of addition will be manual.

This icon lets you delete a selected manual property.
