Setting Custom Properties

When custom properties (also known as metadata) are pre-defined in a template, you do not need to define them for each document.

1. Click File > Properties.
2. On the Custom tab:
   1. In row 1, select CompanyName in Property Name.
   2. Type SOLIDWORKS in Value / Text Expression.
   3. Press Enter.
   4. In row 2, select PartNo in Property Name.
   5. Type a dash (-) in Value / Text Expression.
      The dash indicates a placeholder for users to replace with relevant information.
   6. Press Enter.
