Hello
I try in vain to automatically call a sheet metal part property in a drawing
In this case, I want to automatically display the Bend Radius as an annotation as for mass or material.
Do you have an idea?
Thank you

Hello
Good to see you with us 
When you edit the text, and going through the link function to the property:
There is a window that opens " Link to Property ":
You must select " Model found here ".
Do you find the SW-Bend Radius property in the list?

Hello
So I don't think it's possible but there is a way by a note. When you have your sheet metal part unfolded in the MEP, you right-click and then it will have something like annotation and in there you will have all the data of your part but I don't have Solidworks on hand

And if you select " selected component..." by clicking on your sheet metal? :
Hello;
I don't think that's possible. Each fold is likely to have a different angle from another on the same part...
To my knowledge, the only way to make this value appear is in the " Folding Notes", in the form of:
< > bend-angle (without gaps)
or
< bend-Radius > (without spaces)
example:
References to the annotation in the unfolded view:

Kind regards.
I have already adjusted this information.
In fact, I'm mainly looking to get the thickness of the sheet metal.
No, it's not present.
In this case: (the request was however on the bending radius ... 
)
In your 3D, edit your list of welded parts: Property
Then in the Summary tab of the properties:
choose Sheet Metal Thickness: (double click)
and in your drawing:
The property to call is now:
$PRPWLD:" Sheet Metal Thickness"
(This value should now be available in the list of annotations:
Kind regards.
