give drawing same description as assembly

[Geertvdheide92]

Hello, 

I am trying to create a dwg template where the description of an assembly is the same as the description of the dwg. 

I know it is possible to get model properties in text boxes inside the dwg. 

But i cant get these properties in the dwg properties.

I was thinking op putting the code <DESCRIPTION> in the description box of the dwg, but it doesnt do anything. 

In text boxes i can choose property type and property. Can i also select a property type with <....> code?

kind regards

Hi,
I use this in an iLogic code:
modelName = IO.Path.GetFileName(ThisDrawing.ModelDocument.FullFileName)
iProperties.Value("Project", "Description") = iProperties.Value(modelName, "Project", "Description")
iProperties.Value("Project", "Part Number") = iProperties.Value(modelName, "Project", "Part Number")
iProperties.Value("Project", "Project") = iProperties.Value(modelName, "Project", "Project")

this is working great, thanks!

But this isnt possible with a simple link, it looks like it is used in text boxes?

because the model properties should be somewhere in the dwg i guess, but i cant find them.

Hi,

You can do that without I logic:

Keep reading.....

Define your template this way and you do not need coding....

If you need help please let me know.

I will put all the information i have in the iproperties of the part or assembly. Like the Description it should be the same for the part as for the drawing file I make from it.
I have some iLogic rule run automatically that will do all that work form me.

in my current template these settings are already set. 

But i can only get these properties in text boxes, and not in the dwg properties.

They are in the drawing properties already when checked as seen in the picture.

the only action required is:
