Custom Properties list utility
Custom Properties list utility
(OP)
Anybody have a utility (preferably outside of SolidWorks) that can generate a list of which files (in a given directory) do not have a certain custom property? I know I can write one that will open each file and find out if the property exists and then throw it on a text file of it doesn't. But I would rather not open the file in SolidWorks. I only have hack/slash macro abilities within SolidWorks, but I know that this would be much faster outside, since the data I want is available through windows.
Example:
I have a custom property called SP:DOC_NR and want to know which files in the directory are missing this property.
This question may be better served in another forum, but I figured I would try here first since this is where I frequent and the API gurus have helped me in the past. Thanks again.

SolidWorks explorer may have the ability to do this as well.

I wasn't aware of the functionality within SWExplorer. Thanks. Unfortunately, it will only tell me which files have the property, not which ones are missing it. It doesn't appear to allow me to output the list or anything. If it could, I could do some comparisons in excel to see what is missing. Also, I am still using SW2006.

Unfortunately, that is a bit over my head. I am a macro hack at best. I was hoping someone was aware of an existing application floating around.
