    We currently create a cover sheet for our drwaing packages which
    contains a table which lists the sheets along with their revision
    level and and title.
    Currently we manualy enter all the data into the table.

    I was wondering if there was a way to create a table which links to
    each of these data values in each sheet.

    I know how to add equations which link to data on the current sheet
    but I can't figure out how to link to other sheets.
    Something like `SW-Sheet Name:Sheet 1' or similar, so that the table
    will update when I change the sheet name, description, and revision.

    Thanks a ton,
    Eric

    You'll need to pass values along to custom properties in order to
    communicate data between the sheets.

    Would I need to manually create a new custom value for each sheet
    created?

    example:
    `Sheet Name 1' = 'SW-Sheet Name'
    `Sheet Name 2' = 'SW-Sheet Name'
    `Sheet Name 3' = 'SW-Sheet Name'
    etc?

    Actually, now that I think about this, I think there may be a function
    in SolidWorks that allows you to control multiple revisions for each
    sheet, but I don't immediately know how you would show that on the
    first sheet.
