Default Property Values

Q: Can we assigned default property values in AceAssets? For instance, if I know that all of my assets have a certain Orientation View, can that be set as a default?

A: We don’t support a default value as such. But a quick way to add a single orientation property (for example) to all assets in a catalog would be to use Property Assignment Rules. Go to Maintain > Property Assignment Rules… Create a new rule called “Assign Front Orientation to All”. For a pattern use:

\[\w\]+\.(?<value>\w+)

This just captures the file extension into “value”.

Then choose “Orientation View” as the property and Map each extension that you have to “Front”.

To apply the rule, open a catalog and choose Assets > Apply Property Rules.
