PDMWorkgroup, Drawing property not reading Model property placed in Mo
PDMWorkgroup, Drawing property not reading Model property placed in Mo
(OP)
Text in drawing title block is updating by using $PRPSHEET:"Description". The property called Description is not updating in drawing from the model. I am using a note with “Link to Property” in my template. Is there a setting I am missing somewhere or is an API required?
My end result is to have PDM read the Description from the model and put the Description in the PDM drawing description text box automatically. See attached.

I put in an enhancement request. Thank you for working on a holiday, our VAR is off today. A star for you. I will not work on the macro.

However... you can export any module or form from a macro. Right-click the module in the part where modules and forms are listed and select "Export". Then you have a module that can be brought into VB.
Forms exported from SW macros show up as "Designers" modules when imported to VB6. Not sure why, I think it's because the actual form is not the same object type as used by VB6. They still work pretty much the same.

The .swp could be more complex, yes. I haven't done this in awhile, but I don't remember having any issues with it regardless of complexity. Something to try out, for sure.
