Hi,I am trying to change the properties in parts and assemblies as well as the drawing to reflect all the information I need on the drawing.Items I need in the part/assembly properties include but not always relevant are:-Project, Part no. Part description, BOM part no. (could be different to part no. if its a welded assy), BOM description, material as assigned to the part,Finish, with the option to put in a painted or plated finish, heat treatment, drawing dimension tolerances which depends whether it is sheet metal or machinedAll the above items need to be brought over into the drawings so the information is only inserted once when you create the part or assembly.For the drawings, Date created, Creators initials, approved initials and date, signed of initials and date.The revision level and description, this could be done in part or assembly.0December 6 -
Hi Lou, there seems to be an issue with downloading PDF documents from forum posts. The attachment to my post (a PDF attached to "App Development Newbies Guide") downloads with ' ' around it and these need to be stripped before the file can be recognised as a valid PDF. Any ideas? Cheers, Steve0November 12
