Hi Rads, So I would like to add the "Max_Power_Dissipation" property to all parts. However I don't want the value stored in the library as we intend to use this property as the max power the part will dissipate in the circuits configuration (design by design depended). Thus I would like the property to exist on the schematic when the part is placed from CIS but not have a value in it until the EE enters the desired value. We are then passing this property down stream to third party thermal simulation tools. This is why I don't want the property to be manually created at the schematic level as it would require the correct spelling each time or the property will not pass down stream. I can see us using this same type of thing for other properties such as a part comment property which can be used to pass extra information about a part for the placement & routing.
