Am I right in thinking the only place the variables will be controlled within a part (which then relays the info onto the drawing) is from within the custom or configuration specific settings? Ive got a part and drawing to which I am trying to clear a certain field (take out the text and put a - in) but the variable will not change on the data card. Or am I missing a location? Ive tried saving and also doing a rebuild (although its happening on both part and drawing) but no joy as of yet.
Any ideas please?
Thanks
Typically the properties (custom/config specification) are pushed from the data card to the SW file (part, assembly, or drawing). Some properties are also created by EPDM automatically (ie Revision). This variable is triggered by a state in the workflow and EPDM automatically creates the value and writes it to the file properties. I suspect that the variable you are trying to change is automatically being created by EPDM and that's why you can't change it. What is the variable you are trying to change?
