TECH TIPS & RESOURCES
 
How to link SolidWorks model custom properties into an Enterprise PDM drawing file data card:
EPDM file data card variables can be “linked” to file custom properties, yet how do you link a custom property from a SolidWorks model to a SolidWorks drawing data card? You will need to create an additional data card variable block/attribute mapping for the drawing extension (slddrw) in the EPDM variable editor. Use the block name $PRPSHEET (this must be spelled with capital letters) and the attribute name should be the property you want to retrieve from the model, for example “Description.” Ensure the existing “Description” block/attribute mapping is still setup for the drawing extension as well as (CustomProperty/Description). Now the description custom property model will be “copied” to the custom properties of the drawing when the drawing is saved into the vault, and will thereby show up in the drawing data card.
NOTES:
• The EPDM SolidWorks add-in must be enabled
• The linked properties will be copied/updated each time the drawing is saved from within SolidWorks
