I believe this is a common problem in SW. Just want to clarify...

When in a weldment, and I want to 'Insert into New Part' one of the members,
Regardless of my settings under Default Templates (which is set to prompt)

Solidworks does not ask me what Part Template I want to use.
Therefore all my parts derived from my weldments are all missing my list of Custom Properties...

I'm using 2005 SP5.0 is this fixed in 2006?

Thanks,

As I understood the question, the problem is that "new inserted part" from weldment doesn't show up custom properties of PART TEMPLATE. If you are talking about transfering custom properties of cut-list folder to new inserted part it definitely doesn't work.

what i'm talking about is that a prompt for which template to use never appears.

and yes
tools>options>system options>default templates>prompt user to select document template is selected

setting to non-prompt defeats the purpose.

i'm referring to the original question.

I tried two different templates for weldment. It works ok. Each new inserted part reflects template custom property. SWPremium2006 4.1

In "default templates" you should set up template for "non-promting" part
Yes, in 2006 there's a choise to pick up default template.

I realize that, and I set that up.
But it does not work....

It works for importing parts or mirroring parts,
but not 'Insert into New Part' from weldments

SW2005 SP5.0

Its not? This puts a huge thorn in using the weldment feature as a standard procedure for our Structual Weldments...
