Accessing user defined Properties in Documentation Editor Templates

Question

Hello All, 
 I have created some user‑defined properties on components in PCB Editor. While generating APP data using the Documentation Editor, I can see all the standard component properties in the template, but the user‑defined properties do not appear. 
 Is there a specific setup, configuration, or property‑mapping step required to make user‑defined component properties available in the Documentation Editor templates in assembly documents?

Best Regards,

Hi Electro Node , Documentation Editor only shows what comes through the IPC‑2581 export from PCB Editor. Standard properties are included by default, but user‑defined component properties are not unless you explicitly add them to the IPC‑2581 export setup. If IPC‑2581 export properties have already been defined, new custom properties won&rsquo;t be picked up automatically. You need to go to File > Export > IPC2581, add the required component property under the Export Property tab, and then reopen/refresh Documentation Editor. Once the property is part of the IPC‑2581 export, it will appear in Documentation Editor templates (like Parts List).
