Am I the only person that wonders why it is that Sheet Properties must be accessed through a dialog where nearly every other selectable item in Feature Manager Tree loads the properties in the Property Manager?
In this super context sensitive menu world, MicroSoft Ribbon era, every clickable item causes lag while the various controls redraw on mouse click. Except a couple like Sheet Properties. Wouldn't it be nice if they would just put the things in the Sheet Properties dialog into the Property Manager? Or is it just me?

Re: Sheet Properties dialog vs PropertyManager
Maybe I'm missing something, but Property Managers pop up when we click on a note, dimension, etc. What would we click on to open a Property Manager for sheet properties?

Ah, I should have been more specific. Clicking on Drawing Views in the Feature Manager loads the Property Manager, so I expect clicking on the Sheet node would do the same, but the Property Manager is empty when Sheet node is selected. Do I have a setting wrong somewhere?Glenn Schroeder wrote: ↑Thu Jun 13, 2024 1:46 pm Maybe I'm missing something, but Property Managers pop up when we click on a note, dimension, etc. What would we click on to open a Property Manager for sheet properties?

Re: Sheet Properties dialog vs PropertyManager
Probably because, just like every other thing in Solidworks, the person in charge had different people writing code for different areas of the program....but didn't let them talk to each other. Which led to completely different interfaces and choices and menus for things that could have been consolidated, or at least driven in the same way.
Then, someone (poor sap) had to write code that would stitch all those different things together in a GUI.
