How do I recover custom material properties?

3D Design Volume Model

Hi everyone, I've created personized properties in custom materials. How can I retrieve these properties to make them appear in my nomenclature?

Hello

This is not possible automatically with SOLIDWORKS.

On the other hand, if you have myCADtools and you apply the materials with SelectMaterial, then you will have the option to copy the custom properties of the material to the presonalize or configuration specific properties of the part

Hello

You can also add the SelectMaterials brick in SmartProperties.

This allows  you to assign the materials to the file, copy the properties of the materials into the properties of the SW document

 For files that already have a material when  validating SmartProperties, it will copy the properties of the material into the document properties.
