Drawing properties editor
Drawing properties editor
(OP)
There are tons of property editor macros floating around the internet. I can't seem to find the one I am looking for. Does anybody have a macro that edits the custom properties of a solidworks drawing file without opening the file?
ex. I have 10 drawing files in a directory. The drawings have a custom property "customer". It's value is "Home Depot". Now I want to run a macro or program to change "Home Depot" to "Lowes" for all 10 drawings at once.
I have read prevous topics, but I have not seen what I am looking for. Can Anybody help me?

RE: Drawing properties editor
This utility doesn't actually allow you to change the cutom property, but you can delete it and then add it again with a new value. It works outside of solidworks and is fast. I use this one all the time during our drawing release process to fill in the checkers, reviewers and release dates on an entire design package. I delete the custom property and then add it back with the appropriate name or date. Works swell.

The one I use for this is PropertyEditorGlobal from Leonard Kikstra. It let's you easily build rules and then apply it to all of the models in a folder.
I prefer this one because most of the other macros do not modify config-specific properties on part and assembly models. That won't matter on a drawing file, but this one can modify any and all properties.
