Hello
I have a room with its custom properties. For example: "Part Number"
I then make a plan of this piece. This drawing has its own properties and I would like some of them to correspond directly to that of the room. (An automatic thing). For example: Drawing number = Part number.
No worries about putting it in Note format on the drawing with $PRPSHEET. But it is impossible to do this with the specific properties of the drawing.
Note: I don't have SmartProperties.
Is this possible? Thank you:)
Hello
Can you put us a screen printout of what you would like to have?

Hello.
This is an image of what I want to have.
At the top the custom property of my room.
At the bottom is the one of my drawing. I would like them to match.
Thank you;)
Normally as you do it should work. Have you ever created a MEP with this modification and then made a CTRL-Q or two-color light? Sometimes a reconstruction is enough to find the links.

Yes.
This works without worries as a note directly on the drawing or on the cartridge.
On the other hand, not for properties for the moment.
For the property I don't think it's possible! What is your goal because the property is displayed well in your MEP?

Hello
In drawings, for annotations from part properties or those specific to the drawing, I only use the custom property manager and never the utility accessible by the drop-down menu. The manager is much more intuitive and easy. I make a property form for my room and another for the drawing document. When I create my note in the drawing, I designate as the source of the note the desired property (document in progress, i.e. the MEP if it is a property of it, date of the plan for example or linked to the room of the view designated in the properties of the sheet). I can mix my annotations. I'm attaching a little tutorial I did in 2015 on this. I never finished it so the ending isn't great but the spirit is there.
For later versions like the 2018 that I currently have, it works the same with fewer bugs but the titles are a little different. But as Cobra427 says, sometimes you have to help a little with Ctrl Q or the two-tone light.
Good luck

Hello
I see that you have PDM
to update the properties of the plan according to the room, you must declare in the Description variable on the PDM admin:
Block: $PRPSHEET
Attribute: Description
Extension: slddrw
Then the variables must appear in both the sldprt or sldasm and slddrw data maps
Normally the description variable will be updated at check-in.
Be careful, for this to work properly, you must at least open the plan on solidworks and save it before archiving it.
It works for me on a daily basis, if you can't implement it, tell me.
