Anyone came across this requirement before?
I'd like to get a Part description, from its drawing to add it to a custom property.
Tried this, but doesn't work in properties: "$PRPVIEW:""Description"""
Any hint?
Regards.

Hello.
I'm not sure I understand your question.
If you want to insert a part custom property in a drawing note use : $PRPSHEET:"Description"
obviously a note linked to a specific view will not work. Are you trying to pull that down into your title block?
No I tried to access to the Part, from its drw.
Set swDrw = swModelDrw
Set swView = swDrw.GetFirstView
Set swView = swView.GetNextView
modelPath = swView.GetReferencedModelName 'Full path & file extension
Set swModelPart = swApp.OpenDoc6(modelPath, swDocPART, swOpenDocOptions_Silent, "", longstatus, longwarnings)
Set swPart = swModelPart
I've managed with this code.
Hi Marcos,
If I understand you correctly, you already solved the issue with a macro.
If that is the case, can you mark the thread as solved? That will make it clear for us that we don't need to do any more actions to help you.

If you're looking to get the model properties from drawing then you do not need to open that model.
I wrote about the differences between $PRP, $PRPVIEW and others here:
But you are trying to get the part model in the drawing properties. I don't know if the drawing custom properties know anything about the part that is used to create the drawing views. Maybe $PRPSHEET could work.
I then come back to Brian Graves' question: what are you trying to achieve?
Thanks, Eddy
If I understand what you are asking correctly (and I may not be) then the answer is 'simple' if not easy. When you save a part/assembly (or 'save as') you have the option of adding a 'description' under the line which shows the extension/type of the file. This 'description' populates the drawing name block in a drawing whilst the 'File name' populates the part number block in a drawing. (I don't particularly like this convention myself but there you have it.)
