Hi, I made a standard template drawing for my company with Custom Property links created with Property Tab Builder.

But I cant load that in to the drawing. When i will add the place where I saved the different ones I can´t add, that button is gray and I have try all kind off things to get it work.

I made one that worked on my computer but when all other in company want to use the drawing template it do sent work.

I have also try to but my created custom properties in the folder that is blue but nothing shows when I should pick one from list.

Please help

It points to the Folder not File, If you have the file in your specified folder then it should be ok

  yes, the problem is that the part have the correct ones and there I an chose both, that one I made for drawings and that one I made for the part.
  But when I try to create one on drawing there is no list and have a link to a old folder (there I also but the file)
  Something strange

Stefan,

You do know that your two screenshots show 2 different paths, don't you ?

As Graeme mentioned, you can only have one path in the file locations for it.
So delete the path that you have and you'll be able to add the path that you want.
I would strongly suggest somewhere on a server because you want several people to be able to access it and you don't want them to have to copy it to their C each and everytime there's an alteration to it.

Have a nice one

Peter is correct.
Have the file saved in one folder on a server for all to use.
You can only have one location linked to SW for parts/assy's/dwgs.

Thanks all!
I found the problem, I have saved with wrong ending.
for custom property for drawing it should end with .drwprp
for custom property for part it should end with .prtprp
for custom property for assy it should end with .asmprp

That was the problem and now its work
