PDM vault info

PDM vault info

(OP)
Hi all,
Model properties drive drawing title block but not PDM information. Properties such as description, part number, have to be entered in the drawing properties to show upon check-in. I am looking to un-duplicate effort here by not having to add the same info twice. SW2007
sp1.1

RE: PDM vault info

hotiron,
Yes you can. Have the Description and Number entered in the drawing custom properties and PDM will see them.

Since I prefer to have all information with the model, I'll have to enter the same properties in both the model and drawing fields?
