Rename existing custom propeties
Rename existing custom propeties
(OP)
Hi
I have a number of parts that were set up with the custom property PartNo and a number of parts that were set up with the custom property Part Number.
If these parts are used in an assembly together the BOM shows only the PartNo (or Part Number depending how I set it up).
Is there a way I can batch rename PartNo to Part Number in all older parts to get some consistency?
Thanks for you help

Also, custom properties are caps-sensitive.

CorBL, the interessting links do not work properly, but I will have a look if I find something suitable

Edit your list of Properties to include "Part Number" instead of just adding it to each part file. If there is valid data under "PartNo" just change the property name to "Part Number".
If there is data in both of them and "Part Number" is bogus but "PartNo" is good, rename "Part Number" to "PN", then rename "PartNo" to "Part Number"
I'm sure this could be scripted . . .

Still, at least there aren't any issues with associativity. e.g. If you delete a property and create a new one with an identical name, none of the drawings or other things dependent on the property are affected.
