eDrawing properties

Hi all

I try in vain to get part properties to appear  in eDrawing, including supplier references  

Once my assembly is saved in eDrawing, only the names of the parts and their designation are visible (see eDrawing1.jpg)

I followed this guide to add the displays data marks (https://help.solidworks.com/2021/English/eDrawings/t_file_properties.htm), same results

When I right-click > property on the piece in question I get this error message ( See eDrawing2.jpg )

I don't understand which parts this "files are missing" can refer to, all of them are well referenced (see eDrawing5.jpg) all my parts and assemblies are stored on a PDM server

You will find attached (eDrawing3.jpg) a screenshot of my custom property file

Thanks in advance to those who will take the time to answer this question

Yours sincerely

Lucas

Hello Lucas

Have you tried with SW 21? According to the doc it's a new edrawings 21

Hello

You need to enable an option in SOLIDWORKS: 

https://help.solidworks.com/2022/french/solidworks/sldworks/hidd_options_configurations.htm

And this only works on the open document but not on a component selection in the assembly.

Otherwise there is a myCADtools tool that allows you to display the properties on a selection:

Have a nice day

Have a good day to you

Lucas, Being not privileged with this feature, I can't help you, but there is something that intrigues me, you said that the name and designation of the part are apparent(edrawing01) so I assume that the name of the part is "c0018... " when it's not referenced (edrawing05)!?
