SolidWorks Setup, Templates
(OP)
I'm using SW2007, trying to set up some basic drawing templates. For some reason I can't get the code to work properly when trying to auto-update things like part number and description when inserting a model view. I think I might be using older syntax, maybe? Does anyone have a directory of current SW2007 syntax?
Also, I'm trying to edit the tables, Rev and BOM to start, and I can't seem to figure out how to change the row height for the entire table to a default setting.
Thanks for your feedback!

Check the Help > Index for link, notes to properties

It's not too hard to figure out from there. Either have a view already on the drawing linked to a file with the properties you want, or just add them as you want them. Just so long as they're linked to something they'll update.

In playing with the suggestions you offered, I discovered the correct syntax to use and it seems to be working fine now. The help file is a little misleading really, especially when evaluating custum properties, but it should look something like this:
(For a title block to show part properties, anyway)
Part Number: $PRPSHEET:"PartNo"
Description: $PRPSHEET:"Description"
etc.
... as long as in your file properties for the PART have a listing for whatever you call out on the TITLE BLOCK, you can use that syntax... $PRPSHEET:"[property name]"
Thanks again!
