To Create a User-Defined Property

If you have custom point data that does not match the existing properties available, you can define your own properties. These properties are called user-defined properties.

  1. On the Settings tab in Toolspace, expand the object folder.
  2. Expand the User-Defined Property Classifications folder.
  3. Right click a classification. Click New.
  4. Use the New User Defined Property dialog box to define the new property.
  5. If you want a default value to be used for all points already in the drawing, as well as for new points as they are created, select the Default Value check box and define the Default Value.
    Note: The default value is used for all points that do not already have a value for this property, regardless of which point group they are assigned to.
  6. Click OK.

The new property is displayed in Toolspace and also in the list view window.

Next, you can assign the property classification to a point group or import or export point data using the user-defined properties.
