Link to a Property (Configuration Name)
Link to a Property (Configuration Name)
(OP)
I am trying to make a drawing template with property links in the notes. The note for the drawing name is linked to the part's name. The note for the drawing number is linked to the configuration name. I couldn't figure ho to link the configuration name. I ended up setting a custom property named "Name" to each configuration and then linking that to the drawing (using $PRPSHEET:"Name").
Is there a way to link the configuration name so I don't have to add the custom property to each configuration? I am using SW2001+.
Is there a way to link the configuration name so I don't have to add the custom property to each configuration? I am using SW2001+.

The following is using SW2004 ... I can't remember if SW2001+ is the same ... but I think it was.

Anyways, thanks for the help guys.
RE: Link to a Property (Configuration Name)
If you are setting up a template which involves properties of the model you have to have a model loaded and be able to see the properties. However, the model does not get saved when you save as a drwdot file, so those properties are not available when editing the template next time. You have to open a model, make the changes you want, save and trust the properties will be available when you actually use it.
If you do not have a model loaded then model properties are not available.
