Custom title block properties based on Project File

Excuse me if this topic has come up and been answered already.

 

As I am creating drawings for parts/assemblies, I have to fill out the customers name and the job number which I currently do on every drawing I create by right clicking on the Drawing name in the tree, going to iProperties, and then filling out the fields I need.

I have to do this for every sheet. Sometimes over 100 sheets per job.

Is there a way, within the project file maybe, to have these fields be already filled in with the customers name and job number? 

Every new project file I make is a new customer. So I'm wondering if there is someway to tweak the project file.

 

Thanks,

You can do this by adding text box pointing model properties project and adding the project name in project field of part document. if you can use macro or add-in this will be easy.

yes, as saseendrankombath said, it is not difficult to put the info of project to iProperties. I'd recommend the two posts which you could get started with:
