Data

The Data feature could be used to insert values from the CustomProperties stored into your SOLIDWORKS documents into the drawings. Available items are retrieved from the CustomProperties.

CustomProperties can also be inserted into the sheet format.

Once you have created an empty drawing right-click somewhere in the drawing area and select Edit Sheet Format, and insert the different CustomProperties. Once the desired CustomProperties have been inserted, right-click the drawing area again and select Edit Sheet then click File, Save Sheet Format.

Info NOTE: The Data command cannot be performed while the drawing is opened in the View only mode.
