Sorry if this has been asked before but I can't find it anywhere. I'm trying to display the current configuration in my title block. If I have a machined part as one configuration, we often have another configuration for the pre-cut blank. So say it' a simple plate with holes in, then the plate will come in flame cut (1 configuration) and then we will machine the holes in (2nd configuration). We would then do 1 drawing, but 2 sheets, 1 with the machined part on and one with the blank on.

I was hoping that I would be able to rename the configurations to the corresponding part number and then link the part number property in the title block to the configuration. However, I can only get this to partly work as it seems that the link to property only links to the configuration on the first sheet, so both sheets will display the same configuration.

Is there an easy way to do this? I would have assumed it's a common issue as with configurations many companies have multiple part levels in one file and drawing due to size or complexity of filing etc.

Thanks
