Accessing user defined Properties in Documentation Editor Templates

Electro Node

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,

    This usually happens when user-defined properties aren’t mapped or exposed to the documentation layer. Try checking if those properties are marked for export or included in the template configuration. Also, verify naming consistency and scope, sometimes only specific property sets are picked up by default.

    Hi CJ202604307615,

    Thanks for the suggestion and your input on this.

    I have checked, and the solution suggested by  LogicNet works well here. I believe the documentation editor considers the properties from IPC-2581. The properties defined while exporting IPC-2581 are taken into account by the documentation editor.

    Although the properties are visible in Allegro and work fine, they are not reflected unless we add those properties to IPC-2581 export. So, I tried the suggested solution, and it worked for meSlight smile.
