  6. In the Add Row dialog box, do the following:
    • Under Name, enter a name for the property (for example: Project Name).
    • Under Description, enter a description (for example: The project to which this drawing belongs).
    • Click OK.
  7. In the Project Manager tree view, right-click a drawing. Click Properties.

    In the Drawing Properties dialog box, the properties that you added are displayed. If necessary, use the scroll bar to display the properties.
