Description-SW Explorer or Windows Explorer
Description-SW Explorer or Windows Explorer
(OP)
Is there a way to display "descriptions" in SW Explorer or Windows Explorer? I RMB on the windows toolbar and added "descriptions", but it doesn't disply the SW description. And I could not find any options in SW Explorer.
Thanks,
Thanks,

What I do is add information in the Summary as suggested by CBL. I then updated the Windows Explorer display and the information from the Summary section will appear. Some of the information that I use is the Author (Designer's Initials) and Title (Description). I find this easier to find a Model or Drawing that I required. Hope this helps. Cheers.

Sounds like a good Enhancement Request.
RE: Description-SW Explorer or Windows Explorer
Exactly! But want to do the same thing in SW Explorer.
