Hi

It's my first project working with the property tab builder and I'm unsure the best way to describe my model.  I wondered what is best practice is for situations like this.

A simple example of a door frame, I have a property HINGED

Ideally I would like this to have choice of the following

• Unknown
• None
• Left
• Right
• Both

So in property tab builder I could use a list, I could use this property directly in my drawing but I would have to use Excels capabilities in a DT to get it to drive my model.

Alternately I could use numeric codes and/or Boolean

For example

• -1          Left
• 0           None/Unknown
• 1           Right
• 2           Both

I could then use this property to directly drive my model via equations but I would need to add another equation in my BOM. 

I feel this would also invite 'human' error to come calling.  Radio buttons do a reasonable job of eliminating this, but they are limited to 3 choices

What would be great is if I could have the best of both worlds.  A single control in the property tab builder that created two properties; HINGED_DESCRIPTION and HINGED_CODE

Is there a way to do that? or must I use a DT
