Adding an Automatic Property Definition to a Property Set Definition
Use this procedure to add an automatic property definition to a property set definition. The values for automatic
properties are obtained directly from an object or its style. Selecting a format for this property definition controls how
these values display. For general information about automatic properties and additional explanation about some
properties for walls, slabs, roof slabs, doors, and structural members, see “
Understanding Automatic Properties ” on page
2071.
NOTE Ensure that the property data formats you want to use are stored in the current drawing. For more information, see
“ Property Data Formats ” on page 2057 .

For example, if the definition applies to windows and window assemblies, you can select the Width property
for windows and the Width property for window assemblies. A warning is displayed if you select different
properties from different object types.
NOTE If the property set definition applies to only one object, you can create multiple automatic property
definitions at the same time by selecting multiple items on the Automatic Property Source worksheet. If the
property set definition applies to more than one object, you can only create one property definition at a time.
Typically, you would like to select items with the same name for every object the property set definition applies
to. Selecting or clearing an item for one object selects or clears items with the same name for all other objects.
You can control the selection of individual items by pressing
