How to link a note in a drawing to a custom property in a part that's in a assembly?

I've got a block that contains notes that need to be linked to custom properties of a specific part inside an assembly in a drawing. How can I do this?

Using the $PRP notation gets me the properties from the drawing. Using the $PRPVIEW notation gets me the properties from the assembly, but I need the properties from a part in the assembly. I tried using the property@part1.sldprt method with no success.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Correct Answer

You also have to attach the note to the specific part. You can do that by giving the note a leader, attaching the leader, and then hiding the leader.

Also while editing the note in the Property Manager under the Text Format group there is a "Link to Property" button that will bring up a window with several options

So there's no way to do it without the leader?

I'm adding the a block using the API, so it would make it a whole lot easier without the leaders.

It has to be attached to the part you are interested in. If you can figure out how to attach through API without a leader then that's how you would do it.

Attach it with a leader and have it point to the model. Then select the "no leader" option so the leader line is hidden.
