Attributes

Attributes works similar as the SOLIDWORKS document properties but the CUSTOMTOOLS Attributes are located in CUSTOMTOOLS Database. Attributes are used to establish data links between the CUSTOMTOOLS Properties and the SOLIDWORKS document properties. SOLIDWORKS uses the database attributes to store the document properties into the files.


The Attribute options are located in the CUSTOMTOOLS Database Options.

Select the desired CUSTOMTOOLS product from the CUSTOMTOOLS Products box to display the further and the product specific instructions to find the attribute options.

CUSTOMTOOLS Products:
Add The Add Attirbute dialog box appear. Create a new attribute with help of the Attribute Editor.
Edit The Edit Attirbute dialog box appear. Edit the selected attribute with help of the Attribute Editor.
Delete Deletes selected attribute.
Info NOTE: Deleting an attribute that is linked to some Property the link gets broken and the data cannot be stored to SOLIDWORKS document properties anymore with that link.

In case that some Property link gets broken by removing an attribute, you can repair the link by creating another attribute and then setting it as an attribute of the certain Property. The link to between the Property and an Attribute is defined in the Basic Information of the Property.
