Custom Properties help
(OP)
Hi, I've been pulling out my hair all day trying to figure out how to do this. I want to bring my custom properties from a part file over to the custom properties to the drawing file. What's the best way to do this without having to manually? thanks!

I just changed all our starter template 2 weeks ago so they would take the properties from the drawings and not the models. And now I'm pulling my hair out trying to find it, it was so easy the first time.
I'll keep looking because now I'm obsesed.

It goes with my first post sort of.
When you are inserting the text and click the "link to property" icon you can select if you want it to link "to current document" or "Model in view specified in sheet properties" - default will work fine if there is only one model the drawing is made from.
Hope that helps....now I can go home.

RE: Custom Properties help
The OP wants the Custom Properties (i.e. File > Properties ... not the drawing annotations) of the part drawing to be linked to those of the part.

RE: Custom Properties help
I assumed he/she wanted the custom properties to populate something in the drawing, which would make copying them unnecessary, you could just use them from the model.
