Hello
in the attached image you will see the 3D part properties table.
Before, when I clicked in Property Name, a drop-down list appeared.
but now I don't have that anymore
I have been updating from 2013 to 2014 since yesterday
Could that have changed that...???
thank you in advance for your help
Hi @ bskelton_2
Have you updated your parts after your 2013-2014 upgrade (in this latest version)?
@+ ;-)
Hello
yes I saved in 2014
Hello
The drop-down menu is linked to the Properties.txt file defined in the SolidWorks options, file location, custom properties file.
In the options, the location must be that of the old version that had to be deleted during the update.
It seems to me that the location is C:\ProgramData\SolidWorks\SolidWorks 2014\lang\english

Hello
Philippe's answer is the right one. In addition, I would say that it is possible to point to a personal directory in which the "properties.txt" file is saved (containing your own list of properties).
Pointing to a different directory than the one in SolidWorks ensures that your file is not overwritten by a clean install or update to your version.
Kind regards
@bskelton: do you complete your properties from this table?
If so, you should know that there are much simpler methods and/or utilities to fill in custom properties in a 3D file.
Smartproperties is the utility to have to complete properties.
Hello and best wishes to all,
A little additional response for the property information utility: there is now one that is integrated into Solidworks (see attached screenshot), so it's free.
it may be sufficient compared to the Smartproperties utility which has more possibilities
Hello
One of the advantages of a tool like SmartProperties is that you can name documents automatically
and have the same rules for the whole company with unique meters.
