You map material properties to custom properties and thenmap the custom properties to data card variables.

  I have added the Material in the Variables as Block name " CustomProperty" & Attribue name as "SW-Material" with file extensions slddrw,sldprt
  The Fle data card has an edit box added called Material with the Material variable selected to read out text as read only.
  
  Not sure where i am going wrong as most of the other variables seem to be working.
  
  thanks Mark

    You cannot directly map to the SW-Material property, you have to do it like all other custom properties.
    
    Note in my example, it could be a configuration specific custom property and the name of the custom property does not have to be Material.
