Does any one know how I can link the file name to the part number in the custom properties of the part? I tries $prp "file name" with no success. Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks, Stew

Thanks alot. One more thing. How do I link things in the drawings? Is it $PRPSHEET: ? thanks a lot
Yes. Using $PRPSHEET: instead of $PRP: in a drawing note links properties in to the model. As I recall, it also works with custom properties.
Is there any means of manipulating strings like with commands such as LEFT$() or STR$() so that the part number could be (say) the first 6 characters of the filename, and without the suffix?

Sort of...
If you have config-specific properties, you can put them into a design table. Then you can create a second property that uses Excel string functions in its design table entry.
Thanks for the suggestion. I've never yet used design tables. Is there a performance or file size overhead involved?
