Our solidworks is set up so that we input custom properties into the SLTPRT file (i.e. part name, part number, author etc.). Is there a way to pull some of this information through into a drawing, and insert in into a table (not into the sheet format).
Example, when we draw components which we buy off suppliers (i.e. screws) we input the supplier and supplier part number into the properties held in the SLDPRT file, this is obviously not the case for all drawings we produce, therefore only on some occasions we would want the information to appear, preferably via a table, so the information in the table could read;
Supplier : xxxxxxxx
Part Number: xxxxxxx
Hello,
To bring part properties into the drawing, a note with the $PRPSHEET:"property name" is added. Quotes are required.
For notes, there are menu buttons and dialogs to select from.
To add this to a general table, you must type the text literally.
You can also add it to the BOM by inserting a new column, select custom property as the type, then select the property name.
If you only want the data to be on some part drawings and not others, then create a general table and save it as a template.
Then insert a general table, using this template, for those particular drawings.
For assemblies, I'd go with the extra BOM column.
Cheers,
Kevin
