In the drawing environment, we would like to be able to pull a leader by selecting a subassembly and have the text in the leader to display the subassembly iProperty (for the Description for example).
Currently when we change the the leader text to be look at Type = "Properties-Model" and Property= "Description", we get the description of the part within the subassembly, not the description of the subassembly. It is as if the subassembly BOM structure is set to Phantom. The workaround is to manually type in the text, but this is obviously not live data and is prone to causing mistakes.
It would be nice if there was an option to pull the iProperty from the subassembly file rather than just the part files.
