Problem
When using custom properties for parts, assemblies, and drawings, you can select pre-existing properties from a drop-down menu. These are stored in the Properties.txt file. If the file is missing or the directory is incorrect, you may get an error or see a blank menu.
Solution
Follow the steps below to check the location of the Properties text file and point SOLIDWORKS to it:
- Open Windows File Explorer and navigate to:
C:\ProgramData\SOLIDWORKS\SOLIDWORKS 20XX\lang\english - Check to see if the properties.txt file exists
- If it does exist, continue to step 5
- If it does not exist, download the attached properties.txt file and place it in the location from step 1
- Open SOLIDWORKS and go to Tools > Options > System Options > File Locations
-
Select "Custom Property files" in the File Location dropdown
- Use the "Delete" button to delete the current file path
- Use the "Add" button to enter the correct file path and click "OK"
- Try to add custom properties again
