Resolve Conflicts in Linked Properties

The Update Conflict dialog box appears when you open a document that has some linked custom property value, and the value in the SOLIDWORKS document properties and the linked value in the external data source are both changed.

The conflict occurs in case when the linked value is first changed in the external database and after that, the value changes also in the SOLIDWORKS. As a result of the conflict, the Update Conflict dialog box appears.

From the property list, select all rows that you want to retrieve the new value from the external data source. The current value stored in the SOLIDWORKS document is being kept for all the properties associated to the list rows that are not selected when you click the OK button to accept resolving of the conflicts and exit the Update Conflict dialog box.

Info NOTE: The conflict could occur only when you have the Enable updating of linked custom properties when value in the linked database has changed option selected in the Database Search Group settings that the linked custom property is using. Otherwise, the value retrieved once from the external source does not react at all even if the value in the external data source changes in the future.
