Greetings,
I am having a issue where the drawing sheet does not link to the data card. I am using configuration specific properties to link the property name. I have made a sldprt data card and it works without any issues but not the slddrw. What could be the issue?
Image 1 - Property Table. Each Configuration has a specific name. (please ignore any other property name)
Image 2 - Drawign Sheet. I have linked to $PRPSHEET:"Description" to the text box. (I also tried $PRPSHEET:{Description})
Image 3 - Summary Information in the drawing sheet. I have tired $PRPSHEET:"Description" and $PRPSHEET:{Description} (please ignore any other property name)
Image 4 - Variables set (same variables for the sldprt)
Image 5 - Drawing Card
Image 6 - What it shows in the pdm vault. The variables works for sldprt but not the slddrw.
I am not exactly sure why this is not working. In PDM, I have set unchecked the @ configuration and checked the set focus to active configuration.
Sorry if this is confusing, I tired by best to explain.
Thanks for reading.
Hi Sagar,
This is expected behavior.
Parts and assemblies have custom and config specific prop whereas drawings have only custom prop.
If you use PDM 2018 or older, you need to use the API (see S-047019) to get values synchronized between a drawing's @ tab and its sheet tabs. However, PDM 2019 allows you to do an automatic update of $PRPSHEET variables on the tabs for all sheets (not only @ tab). It's one of the new functionalities actually.
I suggest you run this by your VAR. They will help you find a workaround.
Hope this helps
Mohamed.
