Hi

Within the part/product properties I would like to be able to add certain properties like creator, material finish etc.. I can do this via the added properties option but how can I get them to appear all the time on creation of a new product/part?? Is it poss?

Thanks - Kevin
 
A couple of ways Kevin. You will hear this one all the time
1) Make a script.
2) Create a default part that you use the New/From command on.
3) Create a text or excel file and import the paramters everytime. excel file will look like this

A B C
1 Material P20 string
2 Process string
3 Detail string

If it is a text file the columns are actually a tab.

Column a is the variable, B is a value if you choose, C the parameter type.
In the property page use import parameter, change the pull down to either .txt or .xls
You can search for more info in the online docs, you can use the same idea for the parameters in the part file.

Regards,
Derek
