Solidworks Drawing Property Link

2D plans

Hello

 

I'm having a problem when linking to my templates' properties in my drawing block.

Indeed, some work, others do not and I don't understand why.

However , when I create the link, Solidworks shows me the value of the property I want to appear but then, after validating by pressing "ok", it doesn't seem to find the property.

Example with the attached image for the "MTRL" property for material.

Solidworks finds the material entered "ACE Copper", but it tells me "$PRPSHEET:"MTRL"" after validating the window.

However, by doing the same thing, it finds the ground (see attached file)...

 

What can I do?

 

Thank you in advance.

Hello

try to save your file (CTRL-Q then CTRL-S) this allows you to "reload" the properties,
Important detail: are your files in EPDM ?

Beware of the carriage return which returns the final quotation mark to the next line

Hello

Is the copper material ace filled in manually or is it via a link? If it is filled in manually, you have to look for the link with the title that is in front of this subject.

Hello

try to replace $PRPSHEET:"MTRL" with $PRPMODEL:"MTRL"

As said @stefbeno  be careful with your quotation mark too

Hello everyone and thank you for your help, I answer you one by one:

_Hello

Important detail: are your files in EPDM ?

Unfortunately it doesn't work, I also tried other files, nothing changes.

My files are all on a server but no PDM installed yet.

_attention to the carriage return that returns the final quotation mark to the next line

I can't remove it, it deletes all the text when I try to "delete" the line break.

I tried to rewrite it by hand, the text is "deleted" once typed.

I fill it in from my CAD part "edit the material" in the creation tree. It is then retrieved from the "Configuration Specific" file property: material / "SW-Matériau@@10@51528.SLDPRT" / ACE Copper

So it does the same thing to me for the two links: when I type them by hand, they "erase" themselves...

Can you put a screen print of the property in the room?  What version are you in and can you share your room and the drawing?

Attached are the 3 screenshots

I just found a "trick":

I managed to make the material and the radius of my tube appear by starting again as follows:

_Suppression of the property in "Summary Information"

_Réécriture of the property identically (I even copy and paste)

_Puis in the drawing I start a note again with a link and it works...

Can you share a room (even a fictional one) and its drw?
Is it only this property that is the problem or is it the case for all of them?

Attached is a simple part

Attached is his drawing which works by having used the "method" above.

Is it only this property that is the problem or is it the case for all of them?

The "mass" and "ray" properties worked.

The others, "material", "thickness", "Ø", "Description" and "M3 code" did not work.
