Naming Flanges in Drawing

[sultan_mustun]

A lot of time I have assemblies with Content Center flanges in them, where in the General Assembly drawing I have to label them, by inserting a hexagonal symbol, like this:

Right now this is done manually. Is there a way to label them in the 3D itself, and pickup this parameter/value in the drawing?

Since the parts are from the content center I cannot change the iProperties parameters, unless I insert it as custom rather than standard from the CC.

I tried renaming the items in the Model Tree, but is there a way to pickup this name in the drawing?

Annotate tab > Sketch symbol dropdown, pick "Define new symbol" > make a well-sized hexagon, and then insert and position a Text (box) inside it. At the text box menu, pick "Standard iProperties", the model as the source, and perhaps the "Title" property, then add it. Save your sketch symbol then insert it with a leader as any other sketch symbol, anchored to a subcomponent that it will pull the title from.

@Gabriel_Watson thank you for your quick response.

Unfortunately if for example I have the same 2" flanges inserted from the CC 4 times. All 4 annotations will have the same Title.
Whereas it should be N1, N2, N3 & N4.

Have you tried assigning an Instance Property to each flange in the assembly?

@swalton Thank you, that's exactly what I needed. I tested it with the same flange from the content center and I can put different tags on similar parts.
