Why would custom properties disappear when file checked in?

Good thinking Richard.  I had removed those custom properties from the Part data card.  Putting them back onto the Part data card has solved that problem.

The reason why I removed them from the Part data card:

We want the option to enter revision block information directly on the drawing.

I tried doing this by defining a Title Block.  Now user can click on, and modify the custom properties in the revision block.  Things like Revision Description, Approver's Initials, date etc.

Their entry will show up on the drawing data card, but not on the part data card  The drawing card gets updated, but the part file card does not.  So it looks incorrect.  That is why I removed those from the Part data card.  But then it all collapsed.

Do you know if there's a way to push those properties back to the part file, from the drawing file?

Thanks

Hi Tim,

It's not a table so much, it's just lines on the drawing template with notes linked to the custom properties.

#2  Correct, the values were coming from the drawing's data card.  I deleted the variables from the part data card, because I couldn't get the drawing data card values to update the part file data card.  But then that caused the problem above.  Perhaps I need to remove the .sldprt extension from the attributes.  Will give that a try.

Thanks

Chris
