Link Custom Property to Custom Property of Another Part or Assembly
Link Custom Property to Custom Property of Another Part or Assembly
(OP)
Can a SW part custom property derive its value from the custom property of another part or assembly?
I am creating an assembly that has several custom properties. I want all the components of that assembly to have the same custom properties and their values to point to the values in the assembly file. So when the assembly custom property changes, all the components custom properties change automatically.
If this is explained elsewhere, my apologies. I have searched many times for an adequate answer and, having found none, am forced to post my own inquiry...
Thanks!

Have your tried using the Property Tab builder? This still will not fix your current problem, but it will make it easier to change your properties per the part or the assembly.
Hope that helps,

It's not automated per your liking, but it possibly could be (not sure).
Per EEnd's suggestion, it may be an Excel design table.
For us, parts do not have the same properties as the assy. Parts and the associated dwgs do, assy's and the associated dwgs do, but no crossover.
