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.

1. Open the drawing in SOLIDWORKS and click File > Properties.
2. On the Custom tab, in the Summary Information dialog box, specify a property name and a value or text expression.

   For example, for Property Name, type Description and for Value / Text Expression, type Preliminary.

3. In the drawing, edit the sheet's format.
4. In the title block, insert the link to the custom property as follows:

   $PRP:"custom_property"

   For example, $PRP:"Description"

   The value from the Description property is displayed in the title block. If the custom property value changes, the title block text updates.
