Global Propertries Editing ? 1

[andrzej01]

I would like to know if it's possible to edit parts properties in assy globally.
Let's say I have 100 instances of the part in assy and that part has two configurations A and B.
All the parts have configuration A.
Now I want select some of them from the tree and change their configurations to B in one step.
Is it possible and if I have to create a macro what would it be?
Thank you for any help.

You could achieve this with an assembly design table.

I agree with rockguy. Using a DT would be just as quick as a macro & probably safer as you can more easily read & double check your selections before accepting.

Yes, I could make design table but I do not have different configurations in assy.
All I need is to select several parts from the tree and change their configurations to any selected.
Design Table is great but I think I would need it for different configurations of my assy where parts have particular configurations.

Use Replace to replace it with itself. Select all the componets you wish to change, you get a second chance if you miss one. Right Click/Replace. Clear All instances. Options set to Manually select Configurations. Green Check. Select Configuration Name. Ok. Done
