Sheet format notes shows up in sheet edit mode

Weipeng Liang Oct 14, 2016 7:06 PM

Hi,

I was using Solidworks 2015 until last weeks my workplace upgraded it to 2016, then I found my sheet format are messed up.

I have many notes in the sheet format linked to custom properties of the files, and in 2015, those note will be left blank automatically under edit sheet mode if the property is not assigned in the document. I opened my previous drawings in 2016, and found that the sheet format notes are now showing in both edit sheet format mode and edit sheet mode (and of course on the prints). So my drawings are now full of $PRP.....

I'm wondering if there is anyway to fix it. My wording is also a mess so let me know if any more information is needed.

Thanks for your help in advance.

Edit sheet format and double check the syntax - the link prop. should be available from Custom Prop. pull down menu
it should be like this: $PRPSHEET:{NextAssl1}
I guess one of the symbol is missing from the link so it's not recognized as a link but simply a normal text
Can you load your template here so we can take a look !

  Thank you so much. I have corrected all the sheet format note and they works again.
  But it is fun that in 2016 it is actually $PRPSHEET:"NextAssl1" , not {} anymore...
