Streamline Searches with User-Created Properties in Content
Explorer
Searches can be refined based on the properties associated with drawing files.
By adding custom properties to a drawing file, you can create unique tags for
searching and grouping.
For example, if you have several furniture files which you regularly use when
designing, you can add a property to each of the files named FURNITURE
TYPE and give each a suitable value, such as CHAIR. Then when you perform
a search for files with FURNITURE TYPE as a property and the value of CHAIR,
you will retrieve only the files that meet this criterium.
