CUSTOMTOOLS Property Wizard

With a CUSTOMTOOLS Profile that does not have any Properties already defined on the Model or Drawing scope, you can open the Easy Implementation Property Wizard from the CUSTOMTOOLS Model Properties and Drawing Properties options by clicking the Launch Wizard button.

NOTE: If your CUSTOMTOOLS Profile has one or more Properties defined in the Model or Drawing Properties, the Easy Implementation Property Wizard cannot be used to add more Properties to the profile. In that case, you can add properties using the traditional CUSTOMTOOLS Property Wizard instead.

The Finalize page of the Easy Properties Wizard shows a preview of the Properties that were found from the data source defined. This actually your place to make the final adjustments into the Properties before they are being created into your CUSTOMTOOLS Profile.

To edit the desired Property on the pane preview, select the Property you want. Information of the selected Property appears on the right, next to the pane preview.

Attribute Name	The Attribute with which the Property is being linked in the SOLIDWORKS documents' meta data.
Label	The Label what is being shown in the Properties pane for the user to identify the selected Property.
Type	Determines the type of the user interface control the user input is being gathered with.
Configuration	Determines the target Configuration in the target document to which the Properties' data is being stored on.

As an addition to the information above, you may switch the scope of the Model Property between the following options.

Model	Select the Model scope to make the Property visible on all SOLIDWORKS Models (*.sldprt, *.sldasm).
Part	Select the Part scope to make the Property visible only for the SOLIDWORKS Parts (*.sldprt).
Assembly	Select the Assembly scope to make the Property visible only for the SOLIDWORKS Assemblies (*.sldasm).

After the Properties on the selected scope are once created using the Easy Properties Wizard, you can add or edit the Properties on that scope with help of the traditional Property Wizard.
