SolidWorks Setup, Templates

Instead of trying to type the 'code', use the Link to Property icon in the Text Format section of the Note manager.

Check the Help > Index for link, notes to properties

Yea, just coding it in the text like $PRP:"Description" won't link it. You have to goto the note properties (right click on the note you're trying to link) and click on the PropertyLink button.

It's not too hard to figure out from there. Either have a view already on the drawing linked to a file with the properties you want, or just add them as you want them. Just so long as they're linked to something they'll update.

Wow... thanks for your feedback guys!

In playing with the suggestions you offered, I discovered the correct syntax to use and it seems to be working fine now. The help file is a little misleading really, especially when evaluating custum properties, but it should look something like this:

(For a title block to show part properties, anyway)
Part Number: $PRPSHEET:"PartNo"
Description: $PRPSHEET:"Description"

etc.

... as long as in your file properties for the PART have a listing for whatever you call out on the TITLE BLOCK, you can use that syntax... $PRPSHEET:"[property name]"

Thanks again!
