The character "_" in file properties

Pete Yodis Nov 21, 2013 12:52 PM

I just tested a SolidWorks file that has some custom properties with and underscore in the name of the custom property. These are mapped to variables on the data for EDPM that have an underscore in them as well. The other properties are showing up on the data card, except for the ones with the underscore "_" Is the underscore a problem for EPDM?

All of my EPDM variables have underscores and many of them are mapped to custom properties of the same name. I don't have any problems. You have something else going on.

    hmmm.... stumped. I think I have the variable and the data card setup properly. It is the same for variables that are giving different results. In my example, Title_3 is working, but Title_2 is not. If I open up the file in Solidworks I can see all the customer file properties (not configuration specific). If I look at the file in EPDM, the data doesn't show.

      Now working. Performed a forced rebuild on the file "Control Q" and saved. Looks good now. Would a forced rebuild affect this? Hope not.
