Properties specifies the dynamic reference data linking between your SOLIDWORKS documents and the CUSTOMTOOLS Database.
| For example: |
It is possible to add various kind of logic in controls. It is possible to combine property values based on property values. |
Property Groups and Properties could be freely defined. The database Attributes are used to link the SOLIDWORKS document properties with the Properties.
You can add missing database attributes using the Attributes options located in the Database Options tab or, you can type name of the new attribute in the Basic Information page of the Property Wizard while creating a new property to add missing attribute into the database automatically.
Properties are organized with help of the Property Groups.
The groups also allocates Properties into the clear order to ease management of them.
After importing a converted profile you can add properties to groups by selecting the property from which the next group should start before creating a new group. Then properties are automatically added to it.
