Is there a macro that copies custom properties to Excel?

Is there a macro that copies custom properties to Excel?

Is there a macro that copies custom properties to Excel?

Hello,

We are looking for a macro that does the following:

1) With an assembly open, it copies all the custom properties of the components into an Excel table

2) You then can change the values in the Excel table, and then update automatically the custom properties in the components to reflect the new values in the table

Has anyone seen any software that does this or something similar?

Cheers,

Yes, this shouldn't be too hard.  You may also wish to do this with Design Tables instead.  Is there a reason you wish use Excel?

Hi Matt,

We were wondering if there was an existing add-on or product that could do this. It does not have to be Excel per se.

Unfortunately, a design table can only control the custom properties of the active document. We want to control all the custom properties of all the components in one assembly.

cheers,

There is an Excel macro like that at http://swtools.cad.de.

Thank you all, these all seem to be very helpful macros.
