Drawings: Material properties from the part
Drawings: Material properties from the part
(OP)
Hi, I have a question:
1. If I want to have the part's materials properties in the drawing ($PRPSHEET:{Material}), in the part, I have to go to File>Properties>Custom and select the Material under property. Why is this not populated automatically? (I am using a custom material, if it matters)?
Thanks.

The best you can do is edit the part template and add the material property an save it. Now next time you make a new part and assign material to it, this property will get automatically updated and you can link to it in the drawing.

Not sure if this is what's confusing you but, the property the drawing is referring to is not the "Material" in the part feature tree. It refers the "Material" property specified in the part File Properties dialog box. There is normally no link between the two.
