Question about Design Journals
(OP)
Is there any way to link the data in a Part or Assembly DJ to the DJ in drawing mode? I've created a list of changes in my part and I'd like to have that information copied to the drawing. I've tried copying and pasting but for some reason I get a jpg picture and not the text. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
John

RE: Question about Design Journals
Open your part\assy DJ.
Save as - call it what you want so long as you can find it!
E.g. tempdj.doc
Then open your drawing DJ
Then open your tempdj.doc and copy your text from it.
You should then be able to paste it into your drawing DJ.
Dunno why but it works for me!
Hope it helps!

You can embed or link the file depending whether you use the Link option.

Can anyone explain why this problem occurs?

RE: Question about Design Journals
The probable reason SW does not link the drawing DJ to a part/assy DJ is that the drawing could contain multiple sheets of different parts/assys. The drawing DJ would not know which properties to absorb?
