any free property editior macros?
(OP)
Is anybody aware of a simple VBA property editor out there that I would be allowed to use and modify to make a property editor of my own? Something that pops up a simple dialog box? I need to make something pretty simple--I only have six configuration-specific properties in each part or assembly. I don't know enough VBA to write one from scratch, but if I had something existing, I'd be able to figure out how it works and make it work for me. I looked in the examples that come with SW and saw nothing that I thought would work. Help? Thanks,
Brian

Just go to "Macros" on the left side and scroll down to "PropertyEditorSpec"

smccadman!
you can use the free "Cooktop" XML Editor available at
http://xmlcooktop.com for editing the XML files.
Cooktop does both checking for well-formedness AND
validity of XML files.
The reason swCP3 uses XML for customization is that
it provides reasonably complex functionality within
the context of SW custom properties. You can use
the MS Excel to edit XML files (it sure makes the
editing more user-friendly, see instructions in the
swCP3 user manual)
If you want simpler functionality you can try "swProp2"
also available for free at www.swCP3.com that does not
use XML.

http://www.wmhelp.com/xmlpad.htm to edit the XML file, but I will try the editor you posted. Most of our properties are configuration specific, but I am not able to select the different configurations.
I will give it another go and see if I can make it work.

Nice to see that you are experimenting with swCP3.
I understand the problem you are facing with swCP3.
To *re-enable* the "Use Configurations" option (and
also the "Frame" selection, you have to press
[Purge CP Fields] button.
You may not have realised, but on *first* invoking
swCP3 on a fresh document, these two options are
enabled to allow you to make the selections, but
on subsequent invocations, these are disabled (*locked*)
This is done to prevent any changes to the selected
scheme by mistake.
