"User Specified Name" Part Number in Title Block?

"User Specified Name" Part Number in Title Block?

"User Specified Name" Part Number in Title Block?

(OP)
If I use "User Specified Name" in Configuration properties for my part numbers, how do I show that as a linked value in my title block?  This will give me the configuration name:

$PRPSHEET:"SW-Configuration Name"

...but that's not what I want.  Is there something like this:

$PRPSHEET:"SW-User Specified Name"

???  I know that doesn't work--I tried it--but I'm hoping there IS something that will get me to the user specified name.  Help?  Thanks,

Brian

I think $PRPSHEET:"PARTNUMBER" is what you want.

I don't know if you can do that.

The "User Specified Name" in Configuration properties is for BOM display only. It may not be accesible through the $PRP & $PRPSHEET calls. You may have to investigate how the BOM is getting that information.
