User configuring Solid Edge's data management features and adding custom properties for SE files.
While adding custom properties in propseed.txt file, wants to understand when should these properties appear? Is it upon saving the file (New Document dialog) or is it when he opens Design Manager?
The properties added only appear on design manager in part file.
Solution
You can define file property that is exposed outside Solid Edge and can use in Solid Edge environments.
Custom properties can be used in the Draft environment (for inclusion in tables and annotations), in Property Manager, Solid Edge Embedded Client, and in SEDM.
To get these custom properties input option while saving any document for the first time user need to check select 'Prompt for File Properties on First Save' option in Solid Edge Options > Save dialog.
Save page (Solid Edge Options dialog box) > Prompt for File Properties on First Save:
It specifies that the Properties dialog box is displayed on the initial save of a part or sheet metal file. You can define file properties when you save the file, which is helpful when defining criteria for part searches. You will not be prompted when you save tube parts or parts created in place in an assembly.
In Design Manager, user need to add new column of custom property to be displayed in.
To add new column > RMB (Right Mouse Button) click any ware in the column and select Columns..
The added new column will be displayed in the sheet > User can drop down and edit the property attributes.
