value in value in custom property
in custom property i want to write: "rd1@drawing
you're right.  it doesn't work.  i haven't found a way to get sw to "nest" these variables/values.
why are you trying to put the filename in there?  "rd1@drawingview1" evaluates just fine without the "@part1.slddrw" unless you're actually trying to link a property in one file to a dimension in another.

ok, thanks for the answer. i want to make a bom of several rd-values, all with same name in different parts.
btw,
do you know a way to get a edge length into custom property, without set a dimension. i have very many parts, and just want change it from the task scheduler (update custom property)
no, nothing has changed in the last two weeks to make it possible to link a line's length to a custom property without a dimension.  
custom property links are also only one-way.  custom property values can be driven by dimension values, but dimensions cannot be driven by custom properties.  the only way to change model dimensions based on custom properties is to use an equation.  the left-hand side of the "=" sign should be the dimension you want to change.  the right-hand side should be the custom property name in quotes.
