Assigning Density of part without opening them

[skippertony]

Hi,

I'm trying to find a macro or add-in for solidworks 2010 x64 so that I can see and modifiy (if necessary) density of a part without opening each of them one by one. Best thing would be to be able to modify the property while browsing in an assembly....

Any suggestions?

Thanks!
Tony

In SWX2010 you can push properties back into a part file from a BOM in an assy. I haven't tried this for the density, but if you make it a property of the part that shows up in the BOM table then you can double-click it and change it, pushing that change back into the part.

Bulk material change macro:

named Change_Part_Material

This might work for you. Not specifically changing density, but material instead.

Tony, the macro Dustin pointed to was written by me. So if you need I can try to edit it.
