SOLIDWORKS Property Tab Builder [VIDEO]

The SOLIDWORKS Property Tab Builder is a great tool to easily add Custom Properties to your SOLIDWORKS part directly from the task pane. With SOLIDWORKS 2016 there has been some very cool enhancements that I think you are going to like! The latest Property Tab Builder now supports:

• Additional Radio Buttons for features, you can now have up to 10 radio buttons rather than just 3 in the previous version.
• Conditional lists is a new feature that lets you define and administer lists once, and eliminate errors by automating the population of dependent properties. For example, you can create a parent list of different materials and a second set of lists of finishes, where the availability of a finish is dependent on the selection of a material. Users select a material, then select a finish from the options that are available for their material.
• Updated List Attributes you can populate a list by typing values or importing them from a text file or a Microsoft™ Excel spreadsheet.

Check out the video below for a demonstration of the new features and how to use the Property Tab Builder to add custom properties to a part document:
