I add all my custom properties to the SW part or assy. When
creating the SW drawing the description and a few other custom
properties are read from the SW part or assy .. so no need to
manually add the custom properties to the drawing. Then all is
checked in to PDMWorks. When reporting from PDMW on Assy/parts
descriptions and quantities are shown. Then changing to report only
on drawings the description and quantities are missing. When
reporting on ALL Assy/parts have descriptions and quantities but
not the drawings.
Seems like the intelligent custom property link that exist in SW between Assy/part and drawing does not exist in PDMWorks.
I supply my clients with PDF files and want to supply them with a speadsheat BOM with Drawing Numbers, Description and Qty's which I should be able to obtain from PDMW drawings reporting.
Does anyone have a solution for this problem.

Most likely you are using $PRPSHEET to grab the property value from your part to fill out the drawing titleblock. What does not happen is that the value id not witten to the drawings file property which is what PDMWorks uses when it populates the PDMWorks properties. PDMWorks works solely off the document properties.
I recoomend that you submit this as an enhancement request.
