Displaying $PRP and $PRPSHEET Drawing Annotations in Enterprise PDM Data Cards

In SolidWorks drawings, you can link the value of a drawing's custom property to the drawing's title block by using the $PRP prefix. In Enterprise PDM, you can link a data card variable to the same custom property to display the text in the data card.

Similarly, you can display the value of a model's custom property in both the model's drawing and the model's data card by using a $PRPSHEET property link.

When $PRP property links are used to update drawings using the drawing's custom properties, the updates can be viewed in eDrawings without having to open and resave the drawings in SolidWorks.

When $PRPSHEET property links are used to update drawings using a model's custom properties, the updates cannot be viewed in eDrawings until you open and resave the drawings in SolidWorks.

Creating $PRP and $PRPSHEET Links in SolidWorks

Use the SolidWorks Summary Information dialog box to create the custom properties that ink to drawings and Enterprise PDM data cards.
Mapping Drawing Custom Properties ($PRP Annotations) to Drawing File Cards

For a SolidWorks drawing, you can map a variable to a custom property of the drawing so the property value of the drawing is copied into the drawing's file card.
Mapping Model Custom Properties ($PRPSHEET Annotations) to Drawing File Cards

For a SolidWorks drawing, you can map a variable to a custom property of the model that the drawing is based on instead of a custom property of the drawing so the property value of the model is copied into the drawing's file card.
