Hi all
Small problem with custom properties.
I made a family of parts with custom properties in the form of text in excel.
So I can use PP in a bill of materials if the parts are in an assembly.
So far so good.
However, when I insert the parts into another part I lose the PP when I make a bill of materials.
Only the material that is not a PP with text appears.
Kind regards.
Hello;
Check the options chosen when creating your derivative part:
I don't know if it's possible to manage the configuration properties of a derivative part.
On the other hand, what is certain is that it is possible in an assembly.
→ Make an assembly, it will be so much easier.
Kind regards.

I tried the "Soldered Parts Property" mode (which I didn't know)...
(NB: on the other hand, this type of construction in derivative parts is totally forbidden in our country...)
It seems that it can't access configuration-specific properties.
…
Thank you for your answers and your responsiveness.
Problem solved.
I use the derivative part because I need to link the welded construction with parts in a family of parts. The welded construction and part configurations are driven by equations that make my 3D easily editable.
All I needed to do was reference the necessary information in a nomenclature.
Thanks again 
In the end, the problem is not solved.
The "file property" checkbox option adds the PPs of the derived part to the part.
Hello
I'm not sure you can do what you want natively because you have to recover your part properties to transfer them to the body in your mechanically welded part (and not to the part: what you observed in your last test).
The simplest solution would be to work in an assembly and not in a room as you are trying to do.
Maybe you need to make a mixed assembly: your parts on one side, the profiles put to length in a part of the assembly.
NB: you can make external references in your part with the profiles to refer to surfaces/points/sketches of the 3D assembly
I'm not sure I understood the problem, but if it's the choice of the config it's here
Froussel, I also do the CS, the assemblies facilitate the modeling (global aspect) but not the structuring of the project, it's a personal opinion but I prefer multicore
In fact, these properties must be populated in the welded parts list properties and not in the properties of the part itself.
In this way, by checking the "properties of the welded part" box when inserting the derived part, it works well.
In recow with a family of pieces I have never tried.
Hello
Maybe not the easiest but it's automated:Link Cut-List Custom Properties To File With SOLIDWORKS Macro Feature API
(You still have to check that it does the work required, which I'm not sure of at all)
