    Anyone know why you can’t add another location for custom properties files?

      Question has been answered. You have to choose a different location before you create the template.

    the properties.txt file in older versions has moved. does anyone know where it is or what it’s called? This is the file that controls the pulldown list of custom properties.

      I have the location specified in File Locations, Custom Property Files

      I found 2 locations for the files. One didn’t show up on my initial search which is why I asked the question. We have a custom property file that drives our BOM. The new location in SW2009 for the pull down list on the custom property edit tabs is C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\SolidWorks\SolidWorks 2009\lang\english. The other file called propNames.txt is located in C:\Program Files\SolidWorks Corp\SolidWorks\sldPropertyTabBuilder and is used to control the pull downs in the property tab builder. I think if you want these pulldowns to be consistant both files should be replaced (if applicable)

    When will Solidworks allow for me to link my part’s custom property revision with the drawing revision table’s current revision?

      I a agree Charles, a revision should be tied to the model and the drawing. Seems like it would be pretty straight forward to do so. I alway’s wondered about why it was separate.

    • solidsmack 12:16 pm on November 24, 2008 Permalink

      It probably because some may have multiple models on the drawing. Should be an option though.

      There is one possibility. When I rev the cuwhat about tying the drawing rev property to the View?

      I’ve always wanted it to be tied to the configuration specific custom property. When would one configuration have two drawings?

      This is one of the main reasons that PDM comes into play. Revision management gets hairy with custom properties and references. There are integrations in Workgroup PDM for this as well. There are reasons to have them separate but it would be nice to link. Everyone does revision management different.

      I just use a custom property for revision and don’t use the revision table. Everything in my revision block is populated from custom properties.
