Hi,

New user here and having some problems with rather some kind of bug in solidworks/excel or trouble understanding myself.

I am trying to create our new companies drawing sheets. Since i only have to make the sheet once i thought i would add a few extra bits of info.

I am trying to create a custom property for:

Weight

Matieral

Finish

I have made all three custom properties and the table currently looks like this:

1) Weight           Text           "SW-Mass@PART1.SLDASM"                    159.30

2) Material          Text          "SW-Material@PART1.SLDASM"             Material

3) Finish             Text          -                                                                         -

I dont know where the figure has come from for the weight. Im not sure why the materal is telling me its not specified when i have set all these properties in the part file drawing. Also i do not get any drop down options for the Finish.

Can any one help me out or help me understand where i am going wrong.

Thanks
