Here's the problem: I need to have a part number and barcode for a part file (multibody) which John helped me with previously.

Now, I need to create a part number and barcode for each cutlist item. I am using a Weldment Property Template for this step instead of a Part Property Template.

I can link the weldment's barcode to the part's PartNo which obviously won't work. Solidworks doesn't give me a dropdown option for weldment/cutlist-item PartNo, so I need to type it out.

NOTE: This was branched from a previous question, so some of the first replies may be out of context.
