Set Component Name=Configuration Specific Property

[sdb999]

Has anyone seen a macro that, when run, will set the Component Name of all parts and Sub-Assemblies in a given file to a specifice Configuration Specific Property of said parts and Sub-Assemblies?

I haven't seen one, but here's how I would do it:

1.) Write a routing that traverses all the components.

2.) For each component, read the property in question, and set the component name to that property.

Traversing assemblies is covered in the API help.

Generic custom properties can be accessed without opening the file in question. For configuration-specific files, one normally needs to open that file fully (though this can be done by other means that are beyond my knowledge at this time).
