Title Block properties - compatabile with PDMWorks?

[Simon205]

Apologies if this' been posted before but I couldn't find anything through searching.

Is it possible to send properties information from PDMworks (number, description, issue/revision etc...) to a title block automatically?

I notice the 'link to property' option (in a SW drawing template) doesn't find PDM properties - but can I tell it to?

Cheers for any help,

Simon

If I understand your question ...
PDMWorks can read from file/properties and revisions. You create SW first then they go to PDMW, not the other way. So, what you check in is the properties you get when you open/check out. No properties to link to from PDMW to dwg.
I link title block info from my part/assy files, you can see some og this info when checking into PDMW.

Thanks for the reply - I've found out that if the title block template itself is checked into the Vault then SW can 'see' all the info from PDM (issue, number etc...)

Simon,

The template does not need to be in the vault. Look up PRP and PRPSHEET in SolidWorks help for more info.
