Referencing Scene File Properties

[Nickul]

Does anybody know the syntax (or if its possible) to reference the Scene File Properties in the scene?

The method to refer to the scene file properties in the ICD is well documentated, i.e. ,  $PRPView:"IC-Project" , having associated a text box with that view or used a textbox with leader for example.

What I want to do, is use the Scene File Properties \ Project field , and drive that into the custom properties of a part.

Then taking it a step further, I can then use this within the "Default Property Setting" setup a template for all new parts derive their project field from the Scene File Properties.  (I don't want to just set a project number within the Default Property setting as I work across multiple project numbers and I forget to change it, its needs to be saved with the scene).

 

 

 

thanks

We may need to expose that capability. I'm not sure if IC Mechanical can do what you are asking. It can read the document properties but I'm not sure it can set it to a custom property (It possibly can in the BOM configuration).
