SW2003 sp3.1

Looking for a way to set the material type in the part file (e.g. Stainless Steel 304)  and then when I create the drawing have it inserted automatically in a field in my template.  

Thanks
DG

RE: part material type auto inserted into the drawing

2 possible ways to do this:

1.) have a note in your template directly reference a custom property from your model.  When you insert a custom property, there is a set of radio buttons that allow you to choose between properties in the drawing and properties in the model specified in the drawing view.

2.) have a note in your template refer to a custom property in you drawing.  Have the drawing's custom property refer to the material custom property in your model.  This is done by entering $PRPSHEET:"model property name" as the value for your drawing property.

All this machinery making modern music can still be open-hearted.

Thanks a lot.
Works great.  Still learning daily.

You the man Tick.
At least I think so,  Tick really isn't gender specific is it.

Thanks again,
DG

Tick is a husband, father, dog-owner, and, by most measures both biological and metaphorical, a man.

And as I see a fan of Tull, Rush and a few other great rockers.

Let me make you a present of song as
the wise man breaks wind and is gone while
the fool with the hour-glass is cooking his goose and
the nursery rhyme winds along.
