Where I work, we commonly start a project/job by modeling equipment for a submittal design and drawing. The model and drawing typically carry the same name and number. The custom properties assigned to the model will populate the drawing with part number, material, finish, etc.
The problem (for me) begins when we produce a manufacturing drawing (using the same model as the one produced for the submittal). The manufacturing drawing will carry an entirely new number, but the original model's custom properties want to number the new drawing the same as the submittal. How can I use the same model with the same custom properties and produce two different drawings (with different part numbers driven by the model's custom properties)?
I am a SolidWorks newbie and I may be trying to create troubles where there aren't any, but it seems like a legitimate question.
