Custom Property Creation

You can now create custom properties that are not configuration-specific in Toolbox. In prior releases, you had to create custom properties manually by opening the Toolbox file in SolidWorks.

From the SolidWorks menu, click Toolbox > Configure. From the Toolbox configuration tool, click 2. Customize your hardware. Under Custom Properties, click Add new Custom Property . In the Custom Property Definition dialog box, define a Textbox or List custom property, clear Add as configuration specific property, and click OK. Apply this custom property to a folder or individual component.

To see custom properties in SolidWorks, open the part and click File > Properties. Custom properties appear on the Custom tab of the Summary Information dialog box.

Custom properties are added when a new configuration is created (or a copied part is generated).
