This tutorial explains how to use SOLIDWORKS’ Custom Property Tab Builder to streamline metadata management and ensure consistency across projects. It covers creating property tabs for parts, assemblies, and drawings, adding fields like material, finish, weight, supplier, and part numbers. The video demonstrates linking properties to SolidWorks data, using lists populated from text files, and applying advanced options like radio buttons for “make or buy” decisions. It also shows how these properties automatically populate title blocks and bills of materials, reducing manual input and errors. Proper setup improves searchability, standardization, and integration with platforms like 3DEXPERIENCE.
