Custom Data
Enables you to overwrite the default value of the custom data in the CADWorx Spec View palette without having to change or update the custom data in the Specification Editor.
Field Title
Displays the field title of the custom data. You specify this title when you create custom data in the Specification Editor. You cannot edit this value. You must change this value in the Specification Editor.
Description
Displays the description of the custom data. You specify this description when you create custom data in the Specification Editor. You cannot edit this value. You must change this value in the Specification Editor.
Current Value
Specifies a new value for the custom data in the drawing. The value you enter here displays in the custom data for your component. You can only change the Default Value in the Custom Data tab here. The change you make does not update the Specification Editor with any new value. Any change to this value overwrites the default value from the Specification Editor. The overwrite you make only applies to this drawing. If you open a new drawing and use the same custom data, the default value of your component pulls the original default value from the Specification Editor. When you draw a component after entering a new Default Value, the new value displays for those components. When using the List option, the Default Value displays the following: *VARIES*. You cannot type in a new value if the Type of custom data is set to List. In that case, you must select and existing item from the list.
