Is there a way to call out configuration name automatically via a note in a drawing?

Alexandre_Wamain

My goal is to callout the configuration shown on a drawing automatically via a note. I know I can do this through part properties and was curious if I could also do this with configuration names?

Hi @Alexandre_Wamain, one way you can do this is by configuring a property of your part with a custom feature like Set Property. This way when you change the configuration, it will change the description to match. Then, you can access it within a drawing.

Hey Michael, many thanks for the suggestion this is exactly what I was looking for! Curious how this would apply to assemblies?

MichaelPascoe

Since there are no custom features for assemblies, YET, you would have to do the steps above, then create another list configuration in your assembly. When you insert the part into your assembly, you can control the part studio configuration with the assembly configuration. This is not ideal, but it does work.

That totally makes sense! Appreciate the guidance, not ideal but still gives us a work around
