Beginner's Guide to SOLIDWORKS 2019- Level I

A drawback of using parametric notes that return a numeric value is that the

units of measure are not listed, and they must be either added manually to

the note or by adding a custom property to the part/assembly with the unit

of measure, and the values are always displayed using the part's units of measure.

In our example the volume is measured in cubic inches and the weight in pounds.

We can manually add the units to the note.

After formatting, the final notes will look like this:

All rounds 0.031 unless otherwise specified

Material: Cast Alloy Steel

Volume: 1 .822 cu-in

Weight: 0.481 Lb

Designer: Alejandro Reyes

When a model's (part or assembly) custom properties change, the drawing

notes which use those properties will also be updated to reflect their new value.

For example, if the 30 model changes in size, both its volume and weight will be

different, and both the volume and mass custom property values will be updated

accordingly in the detail drawing note.
