Custom Properties Options

You can save custom properties from a SOLIDWORKS document in resulting eDrawings files when you Save As an eDrawings document or Publish to eDrawings in SOLIDWORKS.

For lightweight assemblies, only custom properties for the top-level assembly are available in the resulting eDrawings files.

Configuration-specific properties are not available for assemblies opened in lightweight mode.

To specify custom properties options:
  1. In SOLIDWORKS, click Tools > Options > System Options > Export.
  2. In the dialog box, in File Format, select EDRW/EPRT/EASM.
  3. Select options:
    • Save file properties. Saves custom properties from a SOLIDWORKS document in resulting eDrawings files when you Save As an eDrawings document or Publish to eDrawings in SOLIDWORKS.
    • Save file properties for each component in the assembly. (Available if you select Save file properties.) Saves custom properties including configuration-specific properties for each component in the SOLIDWORKS assembly.

      When you open the file in eDrawings, the Properties tool is available if the file has custom properties.
