Pull Down Menu - How Can I Create
Pull Down Menu - How Can I Create
(OP)
Any help will be appreciated!
Is there a way in SW (sw2005 sp3.0) to create your own pull down (drop down) menu in the custom properties?
I've considered using templates of each model but we have so many models that I'm affraid it might get to confusing.
An example:
I want to set up a custom property as follows:
Property Name Type Vale / Text Expression
MODEL TEXT (Use a pull down to select various models)
OPTION 1 TEXT (Use Pull Down to Select)
OPTION 2 TEXT (Use Pull Down to Select)
Thanks,
Brian

The term "menu" may not be correct, "List" may be more appropriate.
If you go into custom properties now and add a custom property name with a type being text and then go to the "text/expression" field you can use a pull down list for items such as Material, Mass, density, Volume, etc.
What I would like to do is set up my own list of items to choose from in that field (or add & delete from the list that is there)

... and I hope it's the first column - that's easy - just type it right there.
If you want these properties to be available for all future parts - you need to save this part as a PART TEMPLATE - in the correct folder & it will be available for future parts.
Are we getting there yet?

What would you do with it? What's the greater goal here?
I still bet there's a path to your destination - but I have no idea where you're going.
