Configuration Custom properties in Drawing

[murugansubham]

Hello friends,
Good day...!

I have three configurations and entered Custom property "Description" for all three configurations in Configuration Specific tab in Part level. Now I want to show all three configuration description in the title block of the drawing.
If I use $PRPSHEET:"Description" syntax for showing the part description , it is showing current active configuration description.
How to show all three configuration - description in Drawing?
any ideas?

Thanks.

I have not tried this. I don't think it's possible.
But ...
Are you showing different views for each config? Try adding a separate text line on the dwg, then link the descriptions of each line to each view.
This is also not standard. Each part should have it's own title (description) on its own dwg.

As ctopher said, this isn't standard practice. If you have 1 part, and 3 descriptions, that might be confusing to the user. But if you must do this, such as on a tabulated drawing, use a design table.

Hi smcadman,
Sorry for late reply.
its just an example.
I want to show "Weight" property which is entered in Configuration Specific tab in Part level for Casting configuration and Machining configuration in the Drawing titleblock.
if this is the case, any idea?

Hi I do this quite a lot, I use text in the drawing, not in the the sheet format.
Config specific custom properties can be linked to notes "attached" to views.
