Materials Property over rides wont work...
(OP)
Hi again all.
I have a template set up with Material Properties. The issue is when I write in new information in the Material Properties area, it wont save it when I go out & come back in. I cannot seem to over ride the Material Properties.
Long story short: I need to enter new values in Cust. Properties and have them remain there.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance...

Are you doing a Save as > Sheet Format after making the template change?
Is the Custom Property in the part the same as the one being linked to in the drawing (sheet format)?
RE: Materials Property over rides wont work...
The custom property is in a part template. It is later referenced by the drawing template. But the occurance of the property sticking is independent of a drawing being in sessions.

I also have a material set in the part template and have no problem changing materials.
Are the Tools > Options > System Options > Default Templates set correctly?

I'm using the same part template from 2005 in 2007. The "material" custom property by default is "SW-Material@Part1.SLDPRT". In 2005, I could overwrite this and type in anything I wanted and it would stick. In 2007, I can type anything and the evaluated value reflects correctly. However, after closing the custom property dialog and returning to it, the material property reverts back to "SW-Material@Part1.SLDPRT".
The only way to overwrite is to add a config specific text to the material property. Is this the expected behavior? Some new "feature"?

Yes, setting the material in configuration specific properties is the work-around. But material is not usually config specific in my case. Most times I want material to global for all configs.

Same behavior whether I select a model material or leave it as <not specified>.
