Solidworks task scheduler Run Custom Task
(OP)
We are having to make some changes to our title block and must reload the title block on several hundred drawings. Can I do this with the task scheduler run custom task and how would I do this.

Can you be more specific?

RE: Solidworks task scheduler Run Custom Task
This assumes that your title block is based on custom properties of the associated model (part or assembly) or drawing.
1) Use the "Update Custom properties" task to modify or add the appropriate custom properties to the model files.
2) Use the "Update Files" task to update all the appropriate drawings.
The next time you open any one of the affected drawings, it should show the new custom properties.

I didn't notice that before.
I see that they do have "Run Custom task", but I still don't see how, what he wants to do will work easily.
However engAlright is on the right trail.

To re-iterate, are your title blocks linked to Custom properties of the models or drawings, or are they just notes that were filled in manually?
If they are based on custom props, the procedure in my post above will work, but if they're notes you will be looking at writing a custom macro to do it.

The custom task would accept the autocad file location and new title block values and parameters, then would use the AutoCAD VBA to open the drawing, write the new attributes, redraw then save and close the drawing.
