Creating Configuration-Specific Properties

You can add configuration-specific properties to a Treehouse node. This functionality is identical to the functionality available in the SOLIDWORKS software.

You cannot add configuration-specific properties if you select two or more nodes.

To create configuration-specific properties:

  1. Right-click a node and click Properties .
  2. In the dialog box, click the Configuration Properties tab.

    If you select more than one node, the Configuration Properties tab is not available.

  3. For new nodes or for nodes that you created by using Saved as New Document, enter values for File Name and File Location. You can click Select the Save to Folder to browse to a file path for a selected document.

    You cannot change File Name and File Location for existing nodes.

  4. To add the property to a configuration, select the configuration from Apply To.
  5. Populate the following columns:
    Property Name Enter or select a value.
    Type Select a value.
    Value / Text Expression Enter or select a value.
    Evaluated Value Calculated value based on Value / Text Expression.
  6. Optional: To link the property value for a part to the BOM quantity, select the property from BOM quantity.
  7. Optional: To add, delete, or move a property up or down in the list, click Edit List.
  8. Optional: To delete a property, select the row to the left of Property Name and click Delete.
  9. Click OK.
