Edit Sheet Format Table
Edit Sheet Format Table
(OP)
Hey,
So I have seen people using a table-like thing to change Sheet Format data (i.e. Rev, Title, etc.) in a table format style rather than having to right click -> edit sheet format and then change things by clicking on them one by one.
I was wondering how to find this 'table' option.
Thanks,
Jake

The thing I was thinking of was less like an inserted table, and more like a feature that Solidworks provided when creating a drawing file.

To do this go to File -> Properties -> Custom Properties and
select predefined ones / create your own. Then select the text in your sheet format that you want linked to your custom property. In the note's properties under the Text Format heading there is an icon with a hand, sheet of paper and a sideways 8. You should be able to use that to link the text to the custom property. You can also use the $PRP:"Property Name" syntax within the note to reference a property.

That is exactly what I was looking for!! Thank you.
Do you know happen to know how to save the format if I edit it? For example I added some property names custom to our project, but every time I create a new drawing file I have to add the Property Names that I had created the last time. Is there a way to save the property names displayed that way when I open up the Custom Properties window I dont have to find the custom Property Names I want?
Cheers,
Jake

You can do a lot with part templates.
