Hi all,

I am trying to set up a drawing custom property in order to make filling out my company's information intensive title block less time consuming. I have managed to create an acceptable template via Property Tab Builder that links to the designated places in the title block. However, I didn't realize at first that because it is a drawing custom property it would apply to ALL of my sheets within an assembly drawing (which makes complete sense now that I'm thinking about it). As my sheets do not each contain the same exact information (i.e. part name, part number, ect. for sub assemblies and parts), is there any way to use the same Custom Property template but be able to edit each sheet separately without it affecting other sheets? I realize that I may have to mod the tab to just include all the information that doesn't change sheet to sheet and manually edit the ones that do. I just want to make sure there is absolutely no other way to get my desired results.

Thanks!
-Allie
