Welcome to Easy Wizard for Properties
The ATR CustomTools Properties Wizard is a simplified tool for creating Properties for storing the metadata from your SOLIDWORKS documents into the ATR CustomTools Database.
With a ATR 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 ATR CustomTools Model Properties and Drawing Properties options by clicking the Launch Wizard button.
You can choose the source of existing property data to create the ATR CustomTools Properties according to, from the following options:
| SOLIDWORKS Property Tab Builder | Create the ATR CustomTools Properties based on the SOLIDWORKS Properties Template (*.drwprp) files. The Properties are automatically created by the information found from the selected template files. |
| SOLIDWORKS PDM | Use the PDM File Cards from your local SOLIDWORKS PDM Vaults to create ATR CustomTools Properties. The PDM File Cards from the selected vaults are read and the Properties are created based on the information retrieved. |
| SOLIDWORKS Documents | Create the ATR CustomTools Properties based on your SOLIDWORKS documents. The file properties of the selected SOLIDWORKS files are read and the Properties are created based on the information retrieved. |
Adding Properties to the ATR CustomTools Profile according to the existing information eases your job to implement a ATR CustomTools Profile suitable to your SOLIDWORKS design environment.
While generating Properties from the selected data source, the ATR CustomTools Easy Wizard determines the output Properties input types automatically.
For example, if there are combobox type Properties in the selected source that have just two possible values, 1 and 0, ATR CustomTools Easy Wizard will convert these properties to check box type instead of comboboxes. In ATR CustomTools, a check box type of property may have different values when selected or cleared.
Because the check box is usually easier to use than a combobox when there are only two options, ATR CustomTools improves the Properties usability by converting comboboxes to check boxes in these particular cases.
