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 | Removes selected attributes from the active CUSTOMTOOLS database. |
| NOTE: Deleting an attribute that is linked to any Property breaks the data link from an Attribute to the target Property. Therefore you can no longer store data to the SOLIDWORKS documents through that particular 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.
