I have created a simple part and a used "make drawing from part" to import 3 views and create a drawing.  I've set several custom properties for the part, but I'm not seeing these migrate to the drawiing.  Moreover, the drawing does not seem to display the link annotations, even when selected, but it does display the errors.  Also, when I'm in "Edit Sheet Format" mode, I can hover the mouse over the annotation and see the text (e.g. $PRP:"COMPANYNAME") on the mouse tip. 

Here's a screenshot of the custom properties table in the part:

and here's a screenshot of the drawing, in edit sheet format, w/ view annotation links selected:

and finally, a screenshot of the drawing, in edit sheet format, w/ view annotation link errors selected, but annotation links not selected:

As you can see, custop properties for the "CompanyName", "DrawnBy", and "Revision" are all in the table, but do not show up in the drawing.  However, the link errors do.  When I hover, these show up as $PRP, so I'm assuming they are referencing the part and not the sheet.  I have also tried selecting various drawing views instead of the "Default" on the sheet properties tab.
