Does anybody know how to add a custom property to a SolidWorks file using C++ without having the file loaded in SolidWorks?

Thanks in advance for any responses,

Hi All

Take a look at the utilities page of trimech.com.


They have a sample program that allows global editing of custom properties even thro sub directories.

I have not looked at the program so I cannot comment on how good or bad it is, but source code is available from the site.

Hello ketd,
That should help. I just needed to see the code to get some ideas.

Thanks for the link.

You can also add custom properties outside of solidworks and without opening the files using the SW explorer.

Demojok.
 
Demojock,
This is true. You also can add them through windows explorer. I just needed the code for a program that we are writing. The code that kedt directed me to works for me.

Thanks for everybody's help:) BBJT CSWP
 
Check out for there custom properties program. It will add properties to several files at once outside of solidwork.
