Default Value

The Default Value page of the CustomProperty Wizard can be used to define default CustomProperty value for user group or specific users of CustomTools.

Default CustomProperty values appear automatically into the CustomProperties pane and the default values are also saved into the SOLIDWORKS document's Custom properties when you create a new SOLIDWORKS document.

NOTE: Default values you have set up for a CustomProperty in here, does not apply to your existing documents.

User groups/users	Lists the existing users and user groups defined in the CustomTools database.
Default value for selection	Defines the default value for the custom property.

Special rules based on the type of CustomProperty:

CustomProperty Type	Rules for the Available Values
Combobox/Editable Combobox	Value options in the Default value for selection box are based on the lookup list used with the property.
Date	The Default Value is not available for date CustomProperty.
Checkbox	Select the checkbox CustomProperty by default.
