Pass properties from assembly to derive part to IDW drawing

[SofiaGrave4819]

Hej to all

I am using inventor 2013, and I have some model and like the word say they are model that i will use as derive parts to machinned or change dependending on the model. then I make the IDW drawing from the derived part.

Most os this models are assemblies.

what i want is to pass the model number to my IDW drawing of the derived, so i can see from which model the part is derived.

could some one help me with this.

Thanks to all

and i appreciate all answers.

Hi Sofia,

thanks for your question.

by model number you probably refer to a Part Number or an Assembly file name. I'm afraid that a derived part doesn't hold any info about this.

Yes I refer to a part number or assembly number.

but it's possible to do? by different methods?

You may try to add a custom iProperty (say ModelNo) to the part containing the Model Number - must be entered manually. Then add a New Property in the part list's Column Chooser with the exact name (ModelNo).

Take a look at this document for more info:

Our ModelNo could be something like SAPNumber (page 5 & 7).

Hope this helps.
