Dialog box for managing properties in an assembly

Each preview window allows you to display the list of the current document properties or of the selected property library.

To display the document properties, use the Show Document button; to display the property library, use the Show Library button.

The above figure shows the variant when the Local Properties of Document list (properties of the current document) is displayed in the left preview window, and the properties list from the selected properties library properties.lpt is displayed in the right preview window. The list of library properties may contain sections and subsections.

The list of properties of the current document is presented as a Tree, which, depending on the document type, contains one or two property groups.

For a detail, drawing, or fragment, this is the Document group, which displays the list of the current document properties.

For an assembly, drawing, or fragment containing inserts, it is the Document and Components (or Insertions) groups. The group Components contains a list of properties of first-level components of the given assembly, while the group Inserts (for a drawing or fragment) contains a list of properties of view inserts and fragments. In groups Components (or Insertions) only display properties that differ from the document properties. In the drawing, within the Insertions group, properties of the model based on which the associative view was created are also present.

Each property in the list of properties has a corresponding name and icon. Symbols on the icon show the type of the property value:

•the T symbol for the String value type,

•the L symbol for the Logic value type,

•Symbols 1,2 correspond to value type Integer or Real.

The enabled option next to the property name means that this property is displayed in the document.

When you select a property in the list at the bottom of the dialog box, the property parameters are displayed: Data type, Unit of measurement, Identifier and Comment.
