Adding a Manual Property Definition to a Property Set Definition
Use this procedure to add a manual property definition to a property set definition. Manual properties are those that
must be entered rather than obtained directly from the object. You can define a list of manual property values to use
in property definitions. For example, you could predefine the values for paint color or manufacturer to avoid repeatedly
typing the information. For more information, see “
Creating a List Definition for a Manual Property Definition
” on
page 2094.
When you use real numbers for Type in manual property definitions, you specify only how units are entered and stored
for properties of the object or style. How units are displayed is controlled by the property data format. For more
information, see “
Property Data Formats
” on page 2057.
1
Click Format menu
➤
Style Manager.
The Style Manager is displayed with the current drawing expanded in the tree view.

On the Definition tab, click
.

7
Click OK, and continue working on the property set definition on the Definition tab of the Property Set
Definition dialog.
8
Enter a description of the property, and click OK.
The default description is the same as the property definition name. This text is for a column header in a
schedule table that uses this property.
NOTE The description does not change if you edit the property name. Edit the description separately.
9
Specify the type of data the property contains.
Select List to associate a list definition with this manual property. For more information, see “
Creating a
List Definition for a Manual Property Definition
” on page 2094.
Changing the data type of a definition for property data already stored in the drawing will set the data to
the default value, possibly removing data previously edited.
For property definitions to be displayed in a matrix column in a schedule table, you can assign multiple
values to the same property by using a text data type and separating the values with semicolons. Each value
will be displayed in a separate matrix column.
10
Select a property data format to specify how the data included in the property set definition is displayed.
The format you select becomes the default format of a column when this property is added to a schedule
table style. It can be changed at any time. The Example column shows how the default value is displayed
using the selected format.
11
Select how units are entered.
If you assign a type of unit other than the default for Format, an override is applied to the property data
format. The type of units specifies how they are stored in the drawing. on the Extended Data tab of the
Properties Palette.
12
Enter a default value.
Values for Default are used in the example fields and as example data for schedule table columns. The
Extended Data tab of the Properties palette displays units in the same format as they appear for Example.
