Link to Property

You can link the value of a document property, a custom property, or a configuration-specific property to a text entity in a sketch. You can also link a property to rows of a table or BOM. If the value of the property changes, the linked text changes automatically.

To link sketch text to a property:

Open the Sketch Text PropertyManager and click Link to Property properties_link.png Button

To link to an existing property, select the property from the pull-down list.
If you select a date property, you can choose Long Date or Short Date format and whether to show the time of day (select Show Time) or just the date (clear Show Time).
To create a new property, click File Properties.

The linked text is the value assigned to the property to which it is linked.

Search 'Link to Property' in the SOLIDWORKS Knowledge Base.
