Linking Part Numbers in Drawings and the Property Tab Builder

You can create a note in a drawing that links to a part number. You can place this note typically in the title block of a drawing sheet. You can also make a part number display in the Property Tab Builder. When you click on a part or component of an assembly, the part number appears in the Property Tab.

To create this note in a drawing sheet, in the Notes PropertyManager, under Text Format, click Link to Property . Then in the Link to Property dialog box, for Property name, select SW-BOM Part Number(BOM Part Number). If this note is in the title block, when you update the part number in the drawing, the model automatically updates the part number, and vice versa.

To display a part number in the Property Tab Builder, you need to add a textbox control and set the value to SW-BOM Part Number. If you already have a template, you can reference the file in Tools > Options > File Locations > Custom Property Files.
