I've been searching for an answer to this for years, and now have spent hours again, looking for a solution. Every instance of this quesion that I have found in the forums does not answer the true question.

Drawing Custom Properties can call Specific File Properties from a part shown on the drawing, such as: "SW-Mass" , "SW-Density" , "SW-Material". This is done by placing the following syntax "SW-Material@Part1.sldprt" into a Drawing Custom Property Field. (The "Part1.sldprt" needs to be replaced with the Part file name. I have not found a way to set this in a template where the Part File Name updates. That's a secondary question here.)

The primary question is, how can I call other Part Custom Properties such as "Description@Part1.SLDPRT"? It doesn't seem to pull other properties the same.

Before you give me the wrong answer. The Wrong answer has to do with calling the Part Custom Properties ON THE DRAWING. This is done using the following syntax: \$PRPSHEET:"Description"  . This I know works to import the Description from the "Model in view specified in sheet properties". While this is a great way to populate the Drawing title block, it does not populate the Drawing Custom Property that is then used when checking the part into the PDMWorks Vault.

The end game, is to populate the Drawing Custom Property with the Part Custom Property "Description" in order to populate as a searchable field within the PDMWorks Vault.

Has anyone figured this out yet?

PS: Yes, Material is messed up in the sample pictures, because "SW-Material@Part1.SLDPRT" was replaced with the B18.3.4M - 3 x 0.5 x 6 SBHCS --N 18-8 SS and the "Part1.SLDPRT" does not update to the new part in the drawing template. That has to do with the secondary question. Material on the Sheet is looking at \$PRP:"Material" to import from "Current document". It's a little wired, considering Part1 does not show up in the Find References.
