Attributes
Attributes work similar to SOLIDWORKS document properties, but ATR CustomTools Attributes are located in the ATR CustomTools Database. Attributes are used to establish data links between the ATR CustomTools Properties and the SOLIDWORKS document properties. SOLIDWORKS uses the database attributes to store the document properties into the files.
The Attributes options are located in the ATR CustomTools Database Options.
