Project	Specifies the project that the drawing is found in. NoteIf the drawing is not in any of the currently open projects, "Drawing not in open project" displays instead of the project name. If the drawing is in an open project but it cannot be edited, "Project not available for edit" displays instead of the project name. This happens when a project file is read-only, it is locked by someone else, it is not checked out in Vault, or the folder where the project is located is read-only. When the project is not open or available for edit, you are unable to assign a description for the drawing.

This is saved in the project .wdp file. Select from a list of predefined descriptions from the active project by clicking the arrow or select a description from the drawing by clicking Pick.
