Linking drawing annotation to a part number from configuration

Linking drawing annotation to a part number from configuration

Linking drawing annotation to a part number from configuration

(OP)
I am trying to link a drawing annotation to the user specified part number of either a part or an assembly configuration.  Is there any way to do this with SW2004?

RE: Linking drawing annotation to a part number from configuration

Click on your text and 'link to property' (in left feature window). Click on link for part number, etc. Hope I made since.

RE: Linking drawing annotation to a part number from configuration

(OP)
There are two seperate part numbers that SW tracks - one as custom properties and the other one can be found under the configurations (Document Name, Configuration Name, User Specified Name).  I want to link to the configurations part number.

RE: Linking drawing annotation to a part number from configuration

I'm not sure what the syntax is for the part number property but I think you can get the same result another way.  albiet more work.  

create a design table for the part.  create a property say "PN" ($PRP@PN).  use an equation in the design table and set this "PN" property column equal to the configuration name column.

Then you can check out the SW help file on "link to property".  You should be able to link to the "PN" property.
