Im having trouble getting the information on the first sheet to carry thru to the next sheet(s). It seems the first views' info/properties i bring into the sheet is whats displayed in the titleblock. But if im bringing in mulitple detail views on the one sheet, id like to custom label the titleblock. Is there a way to modify the TB without having to edit it and blow away each variable and write in what i want?
thx
(p.s. I searched for similar problems on this forum, but couldnt seem to find this problem in particular) :(
 
I have done this on numerous occasions. If there is a view you want the properties referencing (the view must be in the sheet), RMB in the sheet, select "properties" and at the bottom is "use custom property values from model shown in" and you can select the view which you want the properties referencing. I have inserted a view just to reference the custom properties (an assembly for instance) and RMB the view and select "hide view". Hope this helps.
 
Are you aware of the "Link to Property" button on the Note property manager (the button icon with the hand and chain)? This is where you can insert properties into notes. You can also specify whether the properties come from the sheet, default model, attached component, etc. It helps to have a dummy part with named properties in place when editing the format.
