    Hi-

    Is there a way in Solidworks to link to a specfic configuration to
    display the weight in the title block (sheet format)? I'd like it to
    always display the weight of a specific configuration not the last
    saved or active configuration of the part file. If so, could someone
    please provide the Property variable syntax to do this?

    Thanks in advance-
    Chris

    Hi Brian-

    Thanks for the response. Yeah, I have this, I don't see a way to put
    the custom property value of the weight for the specific configuration
    into the title block however, so no matter which configuration is
    active the title block always references one configuration. This is
    what is needed.

    I figured it out, I need to have an overall custom property that
    references the weight of the configuration version. For example to get
    the Machined weight rather then the casting weight of a part I added a
    Custom Property Titled: MACHINED_WEIGHT with the value "SW-
    Mass@@" where "Machined" is the Configuration
    Name for the Part 112412, then I can call out this Property in a title
    block note with this syntax:
    ~ $PRPSHEET:"Machined_weight" LBS
