- Central Card Lists (For SOLIDWORKS PDM Professional only)
Central card lists let you maintain and update list values for data card lists or selection boxes without having to modify the list values in each card individually.
- Creating a Text-based Card List
In a text-based card list, you provide the static text values to be used in card controls that use the list.
- Creating a Card List from an SQL Source
You can create a card list by setting up a T-SQL query that retrieves values from an external database; for example, a materials database or list of customer names.
- Creating Dynamically-controlled Card Lists
You can make the values of one list control determine what appears in a second list control when both are used in a file or item card. This is done by creating card lists with related list values.
- Using Aliases in Card Lists
The Text with Alias card list data type lets you add aliases when you create card lists to display variable values in data cards. Aliases let you truncate values for display and use in input formulas.
- SQL Query Examples
These are examples of queries you can use to return list values from the SOLIDWORKS PDM database.
- List Dialog Box
Use the List dialog box to maintain and update list values for data-card lists or selection boxes without needing to modify the list values in each card individually.
