How can a Mass Part attribute be placed on a drawing when this attribute comes from the master model?
Solution
To use part attributes or system attributes from the master model part in your drawing template, you must create a special type of attribute in your drawing template using the Attribute Templates utility.
File --> Utilities --> Attribute Templates
The title of the drawing template attribute must be the same as the name of the attribute you are referencing in the master model, but the prefix DB_DWG_TEMPLATE_ must be added to the title.
Example -
Master model attribute Drawing template attribute
MASS DB_DWG_TEMPLATE_MASS
Add the attribute to a note on the drawing template using a relationship to the newly created part attribute DB_DWG_TEMPLATE_MASS.
It should look like this : MASS = <WRef1*0@DB_DWG_TEMPLATE_MASS>
Place this note on the drawing.
But With Mass, you have to perform one additional step which is:
After you've created your part model and you've assigned it a material and select "Update Data on Save" in Weight tab in Properties and save the part
In the Attributes tab in Properties dialog change the Interaction Method to Traditional
you will see the system generated Attributes.
Now create a new 'Number' Attribute eg : MASS, with Dimensionality as Mass and select Expression Formula
Expression Formula -> Reference -> Part Attribute
Select MassPropMass and hit OK twice
Save the Part.
The note will be now updated with the MASS of the 3d model when you use the template.
