Hello,

weight (kg): once i'm on the drawing document i want that it calculate the weight of the object that i've drawn

vendor code: in the part document i want to set the code and i want to find it on the drawing document

scale: it is the scale of the part drawn on the drawing document

Luca,

You can use property tab builder to create any custom/configuration properties for part, assembly or drawing
It's a very easy to use tool within SW
