Solid Edge supports five property sets: summary information, extended summary information, project information, document information, and mechanical modeling. In addition, there is a Custom property set which gives access to all user-created properties defined through the Custom pane on the Properties dialog box.

Solid Edge file properties can be accessed via the SolidEdgeFramework.PropertySets, SolidEdgeFileProperties.PropertySets and RevisionManager.PropertySets API classes.

Although each Solid Edge file type is different, the following table lists common file properties.
