Solidworks Explorer property search
Solidworks Explorer property search
(OP)
In SW Explorer 2006 and earlier I used the Property Search command alot. Maybe its me but I'm missing that command in SW2007. I have not installed the Microsoft Desktop Search yet, is that why I don't get the Property Search?

I never knew we could search properties in SolidWorks. What was the command?

RE: Solidworks Explorer property search
It wasn't in SW, it was in SW Explorer. Under Tools, then Property Search. You could put in any property you had filled out in files and search whole drives or folders for them.

RE: Solidworks Explorer property search
All you need to do is type the following in the SolidWorks search:
<keyword or custom property>: <value>
e.g. revision: A
Hope this helps. BTW when you install SolidWorks, I believe it also installs Microsoft Desktop. However the search currently does not work with 64 bit machines.
Cheers,
