Here is what I've attempted to do. Obviously it didn't work out. Is there a way I can make my comment show in this box?
Ultimately I want to put a part number of a specific object in the comment of that body in a multibody part. So that I can call it to the title block of my detail view of said part.
I am assuming you want the part number shown in the drawing title block, if so I would edit the Drawing Template and where the block shows "Part Number" delete the $PRPSHEET:"PartNumber" link if that's how it's linked and replace it with $PRPSHEET:"SW-Comments"
No good, the comment is inside the part itself.
This part, within my multibody part, has its own part number. So, I put it in the comment shown. I will do this more often so I need to have a way to show that comment on my sheet. Preferrably without manually typing it so that my part numbers can change if necesary and I don't ever forget to revise one.
Also tried $PRPMODEL:"SW-Comments" with no luck
Do you use Custom Property Tab Builder??
This may not work in your workflow, but what I would do is create another Custom Property and add that to the CPTB file, then when you're in the part file or assembly it is an easy add or change...
never used it before, I'll have to give it a look in the morning.
$PRP:"SW-Comments" gives you the comments in your Summary Information dialog box.
That explains a lot. So I'm back to square 1 if the custom property tab builder doesn't work out.
The most undersold addon for SW - CPTB
the better option is to link to a weld table property, or a custom property itself on the model. is this a multibody or an assembly.
Multibody
use the $PRPWLD:"property"
in your weld cultist properties you can add a field for part number there.
So I got $PRP:"SW-Comments" to work but it doesn't display anything. Which is understandable since I haven't linked it to a specific comment. I've tried $PRP:"SW-Comments@Standard Crossmember1" (the body to which the comment is attached) and $PRP:"SW-Comments@@@Standard Crossmember1" to no avail and I can't find any useful literature on the subject.
