System properties - properties which are always located in the document and are available for use in it, for example, Designation, Name, Mass, etc.

The values of some system properties are determined automatically, based on the data received by the system when working with a particular object. The remaining values are set by the user manually. on Product composition panel, in sub process Properties and other methods. When working with a drawing some properties, for example, Designation, Name, Material etc., can be assigned to the title of the drawing. Some properties can get values by link.

Designation
The value of the property is set using a special panel or dialog box, where a separate field is provided for each part of the designation. Read more about the designation assignment...
In the drawing, the value can be specified in the title.
In some cases, you can select the designation of the document or the objects included in it from an external Reference (ESCD Classifier). To do this, use the Select designation from Reference button. The reference must be connected to the system KOMPAS-3D

Name
The value is set manually. In the drawing, the value can be specified in the title.

Product name

The value is set manually. This property is used to enter the name of the actual part and is used if the Name property should contain other information besides the name. For example, the name of a part for which no drawing has been issued also includes the material designation and other data required for manufacturing. In this case, you must set the name of the part in the Product name property and insert a reference to it in the Name property value. If the Name property does not include any additional data, you must set the product name in the name property.

Quantity
The value of this property reflects the number of certain objects in the document. By default, it is set to one for each insert (for a component in an assembly or for a fragment/view/macro element insert in a drawing). If the document contains several identical inserts, their actual total number will be shown in the document report. If necessary, the quantity value can be changed arbitrarily — then the number of inserts in the report will not correspond to the actual number. For example, four identical bolts have been inserted into an assembly and the Quantity property has not been changed for any of them. The report for this assembly will show the actual number of bolts — 4. But you can increase the value of the Quantity property for one or all bolts - after that the number of bolts will also increase in the report: it will be equal to the sum of the values of the Quantity property for all identical bolts.

Mass
In graphic documents, the value is set manually. In a drawing, the value can be set in the title. In associative drawing properties, the mass of the model projected into the drawing is displayed by default.

The mass value of the model or part of the model can be calculated automatically or set manually while editing properties.

Material, Density
In a graphic document, the values are set during property editing. Manual entry or selection from references is possible. In a drawing, the material can also be specified in the title. In the properties of an associative drawing, the material designation of the model projected into it is displayed by default.

The material of the model or a part of it can be specified during property editing. The material is selected from the material reference; the selected material also determines the value of the Density property. If necessary, you can change the density value manually.

Majority surface finish mark, Majority surface finish parameter
In a graphic document, you can set these parameters using the Layout — Majority surface finish — Set/modify command, and in a model —Layout —Majority surface finish command.

Author, Organization, Comment
The initial values of these properties in the current document are the same as those set in the document template. They can be changed if necessary.

The Author and Developed by properties are not related to each other and can have different values.

Object type
The type to which the document or object refers — Drawing, View insertion, Fragment insertion, Fragment, Macro element 2D, Assembly unit, Part, Standard part, Component from library, or Solid. Determined automatically by the system.

Position
The position number of the object. In order for this number to appear on the shelf of the position leader line inserted to the object, it must be entered as a BOM part, associated with the object. Positions inserted in an assembly are automatically included in the BOM objects corresponding to the components. The position can be set manually or calculated in the document. If BOM is created for a document, the positions are calculated in it and transferred back to the document. Position calculation — determining the position numbers of objects based on their belonging to the BOM sections and sorting rules of objects in the sections.

File name, Full file name
Properties reflect the file name and full file name (i.e. file name with absolute path to it) of the current document or the source document of the object. For objects that do not have a file (e.g., solids, graphic macro elements), the property value includes the path to the current document.

Created, Latest modification
The dates the file was created and last modified. Determined automatically.

BOM section
A property that reflects the name of the BOM section where the object is located. Thus, changing the value of this property moves the object to a different BOM section. For the document itself, this property specifies the section where the insert will end up after the document — a fragment or model — is inserted into the next-level document.

Developed by, Checked by, Approved by, In-process inspection, Compliance assessment, Signed
Values are set manually. In the drawing, the values can be set in the title.
The values set in the model document are passed to the properties of the drawing created from this model (see Properties of model, component, body in associative drawing).

Precision class
The value reflects the precision class selected when customizing the model.
In a graphic document, the value is set manually

Dissect on cuts
The value determines how the model will be displayed on the cuts/juts of the associative drawing.
The property defaults to Yes (dissect). The value No (do not dissect) is selected by the user from the drop-down list in the Value cell. More information about setting the value...

Work type
Type of work performed by the person signing the document.

Letter
Standard designation of the stage of development of design documentation.

Number of sheets in the document
Reflects the actual number of sheets in the document. It is determined automatically. This property is not available for models and fragments.

Sizes of document sheets
In drawing is determined automatically.
In model can be obtained from the drawing where the model is projected or set manually

Production code
Product code according to the All-Russian Product Classifier

.Note
Note. When you create a BOM object associated with an object or document, the value of this property is displayed in the corresponding cell of the BOM object. It is entered manually.

Zone
Zone of the drawing in which the starting point of the shelf of the positional leader-line pointing to the object is located. The zone can be specified manually or obtained from a BOM created from the document, provided that the product drawing with positions is connected to it, the positions are included in the corresponding objects of the BOM, and the zone calculation is enabled when customizing the BOM.

Geometric representation variant
Name of the geometric representation variant of the model. Entered manually.

In the Properties process, you can view all properties; in the Product composition panel, you can view all properties except Created, Modified, File name, and Full file name.

The ability to edit properties depends on the property itself (for example, the Precision class property for a model can only be set when setting general tolerances) and whether it belongs to a document or to an object in it (for example, the Majority surface finish mark and Majority surface finish parameter properties can be set for a document but not for objects, and the Number property, conversely, for objects but not for a document).
