If I use "User Specified Name" in Configuration properties for my part numbers, how do I show that as a linked value in my title block? This will give me the configuration name:

$PRPSHEET:"SW-Configuration Name"

...but that's not what I want. Is there something like this:

$PRPSHEET:"SW-User Specified Name"

??? I know that doesn't work--I tried it--but I'm hoping there IS something that will get me to the user specified name. Help? Thanks,

Brian

I think $PRPSHEET:"PARTNUMBER" is what you want.
 
I tried it--it doesn't work. Any other ideas?
 
I don't know if you can do that.

The "User Specified Name" in Configuration properties is for BOM display only. It may not be accesible through the $PRP & $PRPSHEET calls. You may have to investigate how the BOM is getting that information.
