CUSTOMTOOLS Property Wizard

The CUSTOMTOOLS Properties Wizard is a simplified tool for creating Properties for storing the meta data from your SOLIDWORKS documents into the CUSTOMTOOLS Database.



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.

Creating the Properties by the SOLIDWORKS PDM File Cards, you can select the desired SOLIDWORKS PDM Vault and, the desired File Cards from the selected vault to read the Properties from. While working with the Model Properties, you may select the SOLIDWORKS Part Cards and the SOLIDWORKS Assembly Cards to read the Properties from.

Select the PDM Vault to Analyze Select desired SOLIDWORKS PDM Vault from the drop down list associated to the Select the PDM Vault to Analyze box.
Select the PDM File Cards to Analyze Once you select the desired PDM Vault from the Select the PDM Vault to Analyze box, the PDM File Cards available for the current scope are automatically detected. The found PDM File Cards appears in the Select the PDM File Cards to Analyze box. Select at lease one of the PDM File Cards available in the Select the PDM File Cards to Analyze box.
