(OP)
help needed
while working on draft environment, in callout options
we get dialog box by which we can connect to the properties of the part file. and those properties will get retrieved automatically.
but this is not working with custom properties.

for example i set a custome property of material toughness
in part file.
and all my draft file's background sheet we must link this property with respected part..

how could this be done..

thanks

regards

RE: callout options

When calling out the properties, make sure you are defining "by graphic connection" or "by graphic connection to the part", otherwise you can only retrieve from the properties in the draft file.  Hope this helps.

RE: callout options

Custom properties are not listed in the callout properties list, but they are accessable. The easy way to do this is to pick any property from the list and substitute your property for the standard one. In other words you could pick %{Title|GP} and turn it into %{My_Property|GP} and get the "My_Property" property. If the property is %{My_Property|G} and there is a sub-assembly you will get the sub-assembly property, I think. It has worked that way for me sometimes, anyway.

RE: callout options

That's a good idea.  I never thought of doing it that way.  I've always just added it to the working sheet and saved it in my template.  That's just with parts and sheetmetal, I'm not sure how the affects would be with an assembly.
