By Selecting a SolidWorks Template, TSD loads the fields from the template
into the Combo Box and the TSD fields are loaded in the List Box as shown to
the left.
By Selecting the Value
in the List box and the value in the Combo Box and then selected Update, you
are allowing TSD to pass values from the TSD database to the Project Template.
Do this for all
