Custom properties of sub-assemblies

[CMcF]

In a drawing of a multi-level assembly, I want to link text to a sub-assembly's custom properties, not its' components. Balloons do this automatically, but I can not find a way to do this with a note.

When a note's leader is attached to a component, you can select the option to use properties of component leader is attached to. You may have already discovered that this picks up the bottom-level part, not the mid-level subassembly.

To get arounf this, you can attach the leader to a non-component entity of the subassembly, such as a sketch curve.

Honesty may be the best policy, but insanity is a better defense.

Thanks TheTick,
I will try with a sketch, I could not get it to work with planes or axes.
