Custom Properties 1

[Hayden]

I would like delete all the current custom properties out of every part and sub asm in my top level. I'd then like to add new ones for this specific project. Basically what have done is grab parts from all over the place and modified them to suit my current project.

Now though, I want to update them all for this project. I would like to do this with some type of copy and paste operation in the top level using excel. I REALLY don't want to have to go through EVERY component and update them manually.

I've tried recording a macro to do this, but it didn't work.

Has anyone managed to do something similar?

Cheers

Hayden

If you have custom properties and not configuration specific custom properties, you can have a macro using DSOfile for properties managment. Visit M$ site, download de DSOfile dll, install, see the examples for code. This method as the advantage of managing properties without opening SW files.

Another way: go to

http://www.trimech.com

and download the free utility for custom properties management.

If you have configuration specific properties, you will need a macro to recursively open your parts, manage de properties of each configuration and save.

Another way: try Propagator. Go to
