Source Documents For The 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.
When Model Property Wizard is launched for the active document, it (and its possible components) will be automatically added to the Source Documents list.
When creating Properties by SOLIDWORKS documents, the following amount of source documents are recommended. Please note that the source document types depend on the scope you are creating the Properties for.
At least one document is always required. If document count is below recommendations for Model Property Wizard, ATR CustomTools will not try to distinguish Part and Assembly scope properties.
| Parts (*.sldprt) | At least 2-20 SOLIDWORKS Part documents (*.sldprt) are recommended when the Properties are being created in the ATR CustomTools Model Properties scope. |
| Assemblies (*.sldasm) | At least 2-20 SOLIDWORKS Assembly documents (*.sldasm) are recommended when the Properties are being created in the ATR CustomTools Model Properties scope. |
| Drawings (*.slddrw) | At least 2-20 SOLIDWORKS Drawing documents (*.slddrw) are needed when the Properties are being created in the ATR CustomTools Drawing Properties scope. |
The source documents can be added one by one or you can use the Add Folder button to add all suitable SOLIDWORKS Documents from the selected folder into the Wizard to read the existing properties from.
| Add Files | Select individual files. Use the Add Files feature to add individual files to the wizard to read the Properties from. |
| Add Folder | Select the source folder to look for the SOLIDWORKS Documents. Use the Add Folder feature to add all suitable SOLIDWORKS documents from the selected folder to the wizard to read the Properties from. |
| Add Recent | Add all suitable SOLIDWORKS documents from the SOLIDWORKS Most Recently Used files list. |
| Remove | Remove selected file from the list. Use the Remove feature to remove the selected files from the wizard. |
