ILoveMadoka Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 I want to read Properties Information from the Configuration Specific Tab inside of a Part into my Title Block and populate the drawing name / drawing number from there. If $PRPSHEET:"PartNo" reads from the Custom Tab inside the Part File and if $PRP:"PartNo" reads from the Drawings Properties Tab How do you read from the Configuration Specific Tab? Thanks!! Quote

stevsmith Posted April 13, 2015 Posted April 13, 2015 I'm pretty sure that if the custom proporties are identical in name to the configuration properties, then the information will always extract from the default "custom" tab and overwrite the "configuration" properties.... I think! Let me test this out tonight and I'll get back to you. Rather than using the $prp text etc. you should create a part file with all your custom information populated then add it to your drawing template. similar to the method I have described here. https://forum.solidworks.com/thread/69893 It makes life a hell of a lot easier.
