$PRPSHEET
$PRPSHEET
(OP)
I am trying to attach my model part number to a note on an installation drawing. Normally, the code $PRPSHEET:"PARTNUM" works, but on one of my assembly models, it does not. The other $PRPSHEET codes do not extract data from the model, either.
Is there a toggle in the assembly model that disables all this? Any of idea of what is happening here?

Right click sheet 1 in tree.
Lower left corner there is a drop down... pick a different view.

Is the data under the custom tab within the properties of the assy/part models? I sometimes see this with the data listed under the 'summery' tab but not listed under the custom tab.

RE: $PRPSHEET
Thanks.
I am pretty certain it is not the drawing. The problem is with any drawing the model is attached to. I have copied the model over a couple of times, and all occurences of it on all drawings have this problem. None of my other assemblies have problems.

I'm not sure how this would be an assembly issue, unless your values are under configuration custom properties instead of the file's custom props.

The configurations are used to show assembly steps. I am using a design table to ensure that all the configurations have the same description and part numbers. I have tried changing the configuration attached to my drawing, as well as the view that supplies the custom property values. I still cannot see anything.
This is one assembly model, only. Everything else works.
RE: $PRPSHEET
I'm just guessing here, but have you tried "$PRPSHEET:PartNumber" instead of "$PRPSHEET:PARTNUM"?
I'm assuming you haven't created your own names for the properties in the part, and are using the default fields. You can create your own custom fields if you want to, but the drawing won't import those properties unless the names match up.
I would say just make sure the note in the sheet is calling the proper name for the desired property, and it should update.
I hope this helps... I'm not sure how your system is set up.

I got similar answers. Maybe it'll help to look at the feedback I got back then?
