In Solidworks 2017, I have figured out how to manually do this:

After modeling the solid part, make the drawing,

1) add a Note,

2) select Link Property to enter Link Property menu,

3) click File Properties to enter the File Properties menu,

4) set a Property Name [ANY_NAME],

5) select Type "Text",

6) enter Value / Text Expression of "SW-Mass@[SOLID_PART'S_FILE_NAME_GOES_HERE].sldprt",

7) click OK to go back to Link Property menu,

8) select Property Name [ANY_NAME],

9) click OK.

It's not exactly quick.  Now I'll have to do this ... several hundred times, and I'm trying to figure out what syntax I need to make it happen automatically.  I think that step 6 is where there could be a solution.

Specifically, I have made a custom sheet format with my name signed and a few other details set in advance, so I can go directly from my solid model to a halfway-finished sheet.  I want the mass value to pull automatically from the solid model.  I know there are some other syntax lines that do the same, such as $PRPSHEET:{Material} and $PRPSHEET:{Finish}, so I think there must be a similar way to call the mass value.

I have tried $PRPSHEET:{Mass} and have had no luck.  Does anyone know another possibility?

Or maybe I'm approaching this from the wrong point-of-view and there is an easier answer?

Thanks

EDIT:  Okay, I am blind.  This feature is already built into the default templates, labeled as "weight", and it is blank unless you set a material for the 3-D model.  I suppose my question should be rephrased - can I call any other information from my solid model in the same way?
