Hi Mike, I am not sure if your question was answered. Please feel free to contact me and I will be happy to give you an overview of DesignDataManager. Alternatively, why not visit our website and view some of the movies available there. http://www.digitaldatamanager.co.uk/WhyDDM/DDMDemos.aspx Mark Blatherwick CSI Ltd

Just to chip in, if you are using DesignDataManager, all links and file associations are shown, from either scene or drawing. In addition, with DesignDataManager, from any scene you can use the 'load associated drawings' menu option to automatically load associated drawings into session without needing to search for them.

Sorry for late reply.. You gave me enough clues to fix this! DDM attributes are passed to the document properties, so I need to select 'Sheet Setup' on the drawing and then select the component scene file from the 'Document Properties From' drop down box. Now I can define a title block cell to show the PART_MATERIAL attribute from DDM. To define this cell, select 'Scene/Drawing specified in setup sheet' from the 'Text Style Properties' dialogue and then add the attribute definition in the 'Text' box as.. $PRPSheet:"IC-PART_MATERIAL" DDM Part Material attribute is now displayed correctly in the drawing title block. Thanks!

Is there a way to display part custom properties or parameters on the drawing title block. I have a custom property called PART_MATERIAL on my model, on the drawing title block I have a cell for material information (or any other custom attribute, I use material as an example), I know that custom part properties do not appear in the part property name drop down, so I have manually entered $PRPPart:"IC-Part_Material", but this is not displayed. Ideally custom properties should appear in the drop down, but I dont appear to be able to make the manual workaround work.. Any help much appreciated!
