Hi,

Its been awhile since I messed with drawing notes and automation.
Looking for a little help. I would like to add a note to a drawing
with a leader on it attached to a part in an assembly where it picks
up the part name of the model the leader is pointing at
automatically.

I know I can do this through the use of custom properties, but the
flaw there is that if someone does a Save As the custom property will
have the old part number in it. I am wondering is there and internal
property SW has that allows the picking up of the individual parts
within the assembly drawing. Sort of like the mass property that
updates all the time as the part is altered.

Thanks

Guy

While editing the note, there is a link icon in the feature manager that
will allow you to add a filename link to the part that the note is
attached to.
