Currently I have data cards set up for parts, assemblies and drawings. The difficulty I have is that a user will fill in the data card for the part/assembly. Then they create a drawing from that part/assembly. They then need to fill in the data card information all over again for the drawing since the drawing title block draws information from the drawing data card.
Is there a way to create a "master data card" that will feed info to the part data card and the drawing data card?
I think the only way to do that would be to have a Folder for each part... not a great idea! ;-) If some generic information is shared amongst all files in the folder then it would be a good idea to map the Folder Card variable into the Part / Drawing data card.
Otherwise you would need to map the variables from the Part / Assembly to the Drawing. This only updates in SolidWorks so the Drawing needs to be opened, regenerated and saved AFTER the change to the Part / Assembly data card.
