  1. Click Radio button or select Edit > Mode > Radio-button.
  2. Click the card where you want to locate the radio button.
  3. From the Radio-button properties pane, in Caption, enter the radio button's name.
  4. To add language translations for the Caption entry:
    1. Click Localization .
    2. Complete the Localization dialog box.
  5. Select from Attribute name the data card attribute to store the caption value.

    Alternatively, select an attribute from the Attributes dialog box. The dialog box appears when you click Attributes. It contains a table of the available attributes, their entry types, and default values.

    If you add multiple radio buttons with different captions, but all are linked to the same attribute, only the caption of the selected radio button is stored in the attribute. (Use this attribute to group radio buttons for toggling between multiple values.)

  6. Optionally select the following Flags check boxes:
    1. Read-only to make the radio button read-only so that users cannot update values.
    2. Updates all configuration to have the system update all configuration tabs of the data card with the same selection when users select the radio button.
  7. Under Default value, select one of the following options, which the software uses to set a value for the radio button when a new file or item is added to the 3DEXPERIENCE server:
    • No default value to leave the radio button without a default value.
    • Checked to select the radio button by default.
      Note: If several radio buttons are connected to the same attribute, you can select only one in the group.
    • Unchecked to clear the radio button by default.
  8. Select the Default overwrites check box if you want the software to overwrite the existing attribute value with the default value when users copy or add files.
  9. In Excluded Configurations, enter the names of configurations that are to be excluded as default values for the radio button.

    Enter one configuration name per line. You can use a * as a wildcard. For example, *magnet* excludes all configurations with "magnet" in the configuration name.

    Note: The software does not exclude configurations if the user manually generates values.

Your customized card includes the radio button.
