Adding iPart properties in text on a drawing

This one came up again the other day through a partner and it’s a little misleading in some parts of the workflow so I wanted to clear it up. When you have a drawing containing multiple versions of an iPart, you sometimes want to add text showing the version of the iPart instead of using a general table. No problem, I’ll just add text, choose the model property “Part Number” and change the “Component:” field to the version I want and it’ll add the text for that version you may be thinking:

But as soon as you place the text it shows a different version:

So what’s going on? The text is associated with the first-placed view of the version in the file and using that as its reference. So how do we get the text for the version we want? The best and easiest way to do this is click on the view you want the text associated with, start a sketch and add the text with the model property data that way. Then, it will be associated with that view and its Part Number property:

Happy Inventing,

Thanks for the info.

However, it really is just a work-around. It would be better if ADSK to fixed the problem.

At my company we display iproperties inside leader annotations. It would be very usefule if we could link to the component iproperty as expected. I lieu of that we have to hand-key in iprops.
