You can
upgrade custom properties of files created in SOLIDWORKS 2017 or
earlier.
When you
run
Upgrade custom property on legacy files, their
custom properties are upgraded to the new architecture. After the upgrade, the following
features are available to the legacy files:
- Linked column in the
Custom Properties dialog box
- Configuration-specific cut list and custom properties
- Equation in File
Properties
- Enhanced Configuration Specific
Properties dialog box
When you upgrade the custom properties of a part, you may have to fix issues with
assemblies and drawings where the part is used. For example, the assemblies and drawings
that include derived parts, annotations, and BOMs.
You can upgrade a file manually or in batches using the API (IModelDocExtension:: UpgradeCustomProps).
For information, see SOLIDWORKS API Help.
