Utility and Custom Data

In the left column, you can enter the Name of the CustomData, or if you click on the dropdown menu, you can choose the name from a custom list (that you can create and modify by clicking on the <New…> field) see here for set default name While, in the right column enter the Value of the CustomData, again if you click on the drop down menu, you can choose the value from a custom list (which you can create and modify by clicking on the <New…> field), in addition there are two other special fields:

• < Get From Parent… > If you select this option, the value of the current CustomData is obtained from the one with the same name from the parent assembly and set in the CustomData value of the part.
• < Set To Children… > When you select this option, the current CustomData value of the assembly will be set in all child items that have a CustomData with the same title as the assembly.
  These options only copy CustomData values. Copied values do not remain “linked” to the original selected value

the icon in the name cell - Deletes the CustomData field, both the name and the value
the icon in the value cell - Sets and links the current value from an Excel cell
