| Properties |
Sets which component property to list in the Assembly Visualization panel. Available properties include:
|
SW-Calculated Cost
|
Reports the cost of the component, calculated by the Costing tool.
|
|
SW-Density
|
Reports the density of the component, calculated based on the material properties.
|
|
SW-Mass
|
Reports the mass of the component, calculated based on model geometry and material properties.
|
|
SW-Material
|
Reports the material of the component, assigned to the part from the Materials dialog box or the favorites list.
|
|
SW-Open Time
|
Reports which components take the longest to open. You could then simplify or remove those components to decrease the time needed to open the assembly.
|
|
SW-Rebuild Time
|
Reports the time to rebuild the component.
|
|
SW-SurfaceArea
|
Reports the surface area of the component, calculated based on model geometry.
|
|
SW-Volume
|
Reports the volume of the component, calculated based on model geometry.
|
|
Converted to Current Version
|
Reports whether or not the component has been saved in the current version of SOLIDWORKS.
|
|
Excluded from BOM
|
(Instance-specific.) Reports whether or not the component is set to Exclude from bill of materials in the Component Properties dialog box.
|
|
External Reference
|
Reports whether or not the component is dependent on another model for its solution.
|
|
Flexible Assembly
|
(Instance-specific.) Reports whether or not the component is set to Flexible in the Component Properties dialog box.
|
|
Fully Mated
|
(Instance-specific.) Reports whether or not the position of the component is fully constrained.
|
|
Graphics-Triangles
|
Reports the number of tessellation triangles used to display a component. For a given component, as you increase the image quality setting, the triangle count increases and performance slows down. If graphics performance is slow in a very large assembly, you can sort components by Graphics-Triangles. Then consider hiding components with high triangle counts.
|
|
Quantity
|
Reports the number of instances of the component in the assembly.
|
Custom and configuration-specific properties defined in the component files are also available. If SOLIDWORKS Sustainability is installed, its properties are also available. Instance-specific properties, such as Fully Mated, can have different values for different instances of the component. Properties that are not instance-specific, such as SW-Mass, have the same value for all instances of the component.
|
| Column header |
Sets the name that appears at the top of the column. Type a name or use the default that appears for the selected property. |
| Use Formula |
Activates the equation field. |
 |
Sets the equation that calculates the values listed in the Assembly Visualization panel. To create an equation, select numerical items from Properties and type operators and numbers. Available operators:
 Addition
 Subtraction
 Multiplication
 Division
 Exponentiation
Example equations:
"SW-Volume"*"Quantity"
("SW-SurfaceArea"/144)*"Quantity"
