Model Description to Drawing Custom Property

Unread post by DavidWS »

I think maybe some of you use the PDF export macro widely circulated around the forums (and attached here) to enable ease of PDF export, plus being able to concatenate drawing Custom Properties (like Revision) into the exported filename...

I'd *love* to be able to add the model's Configuration Property without needing to add it to the drawing's Custom Property as well, without the need to do it manually.

It would be great if this macro could somehow reach into the model that's defined in the sheet properties Description, so it's always up to date in case of Description or model changes, etc

It's easy to access the model's properties in notes... this should be pretty straight forward too, but I'm not sure

Could someone help with a way to make this happen?

There seems to be a need to update the SolidWorks version references in the macro
