    in model, set "material" property =
    in drawing or BOM, use "material" property

    i am trying to run a macro that can replace the current typed
    material(dumb text) with the property that is assigned in sw under
    material from the tree.

    can somone help me with the actual custom property

    this is what i use in the title block. but i doesnt work for the
    actual part.
    "sw-Material@$prpsheet:"SW-File Name".sldprt"

    i want to use a macro that will assign the property value

    "sw_material@SW-File Name".sldprt this doesnt seem to work, any help
    would be great.
    the macro will assign a property- material and assign a value to all
    open files i want it to use the value that SW has already assign as the
    material that SW now uses for the mass property an density


    Thanks allot


    Sincerely,

    Ryan
