Inserting a Custom Property When Publishing

You can add a text block that references a model custom property to a template. When publishing the 3D PDF document, the template user selects a custom property that appears in the final 3D PDF document.

To insert a custom property when publishing:

  1. In the SOLIDWORKS 3D PDF Template Editor, click Text .
  2. In the PropertyManager, click Custom Property Field .
    A Custom Property Placeholder appears on the template.
  3. In Field name, type a name.
  4. In Instructions, type the instructions that appear in the Custom Property Text dialog box when you publish the 3D PDF document.
  5. In Custom property, select the property.
    The SOLIDWORKS software will try to match the text you enter here to a custom property name at publish time. If there is a match, the software will complete the field.
  6. Select the Font Size, Font Family, and Text Color.
  7. Optionally, drag the text block to a location and resize it using the handles.
  8. Click .
