Summary:

Retain text in Custom Properties when pasted in as not plain text.

Problem Desc.:

Product Version in Use : SW2015

repeat the effort in the File>Properties>Custom/Configuration Specific panes where it is

changed to plain text.

Hi Alan,

Where are you copying/pasting from? it may be that you could change the stock code to a drop-down list to the custom property property tab and link it to the external file?

  That particular one came from my graphics illustration package, as I spotted the SolidWorks part needed a stock code.
  Most of the time the problem occurs when I copy and paste from a PDF assembly drawing, which I also generate from my PCB design package.
  It would appear that the Custom Properties panes will take in text with colour/size/font attributes as say HTML.
  
  All the stock codes I use are stored on our MRP system, and don't get me started on trying to interface with that for getting codes/lists to and from it.

    Fair enough Alan, in your circumstance you're right, a paste into these text fields should strip the formatting.
