Can I have dwg number as a "pointer" ?
Can I have dwg number as a "pointer" ?
(OP)
I produced a WELDMENT_1.SLDPRT which of course has a Cut-List. The WELDMENT_1 also needs a DETAIL.SLDDRW
In the WELDMENT_1.SLDPRT I have produced FOR DETAIL DWG configuration (actually two, <As Machined> and <As Welded> ). Those two configurations have BODY-DELETE1 active, so only one "body" shows up on DETAIL.SLDDRW
The dwg numbers for WELDMENT_1.SLDDRG and DETAIL.SLDDRW are different - two different .SLDDRW files
The Cut-List on WELDMENT_1.SLDDRW has added column DWG NO (for DETAIL dwg numbers).
Into Cut-List-Item4 WELDMENT_1.SLDPRT I put property "DWG NO" and "asigned" it 003902 (this is the DETAIL dwg number). This causes to display 003902 in column DWG NO in Cut-List "BOM" on WELDMENT_1.SLDDRW
So far so good.
Now, I would like to have the 003902 also displayed as a number in the Title Block of DETAIL.SLDDRW
So far I was able to achieve this only by "HARD CODING", that is writing 003902 in configuration specific FOR DETAIL DWG properties as "My Number" in WELDMENT_1.SLDPRT and then "reading" it as $PRPSHEET:"My Number" into the Title Block of DETAIL.SLDDRW
Question 1: Would it be possible to not have the 003902 "HARD CODED" but as a "pointer", that is something like: "bla bla bla @ somewhere" so when in the Cut-List-Item4 Custom Proprieties WELDMENT_1.SLDPRT the number 003902 is changed it would automatically propagate to "bla bla bla @ somewhere" and subsequently to Title Block of DETAIL.SLDDRW ?
Question 2: Where could I learn more about those "bla bla bla @ somewhere" ??
Thanks

RE: Can I have dwg number as a "pointer" ?
Right now I am experimenting by creating Derived Configuration (so I can get rid of <As Machined>, or <As Welded> ) and naming that configuration as my dwg number (that is 003902).
Will inform you if I get what I want.
