How can I use Model file Attribute as Text for Serface Text
I would like to automatically emboss my parts with a Part, Rev and/or Branch Number. I can see that I can use/convert text input to an expression, but how can I automatically access the Model Attributes within the expression?

You could the custom feature Get/Set Property.
Note that when getting properties, onshape does this after the feature tree. This means that custom features can't view these data changes live. So if that property ever changes, you will have to manually open the feature and press the refresh button.
