Any clipboard manager utilities that work with SWX?
Any clipboard manager utilities that work with SWX?
(OP)
Does anyone know of a clipboard manager utility that works well with pasting multiple entries into SolidWorks? I frequently have the need to paste multiple items into notes, rev blocks, properties, etc. in multiple files. Currently, I just type the items into a text file and copy and paste out of it as needed, but it can be time consuming. So I am looking for ways to streamline this task. I've tried several clipboard managers like ArsClip and Ditto already, but they don't always paste into SWX reliably. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

You can create your most common notes and just select what you need for each drawing.

You can get the drop down menus to link to a text file; then you can select the "commonly used data" or manually enter anything else you might want simply as text. I use this to enter Job info, drawing/approval, client info... Anything that I want to be the same from one drawing to another.
[Custom Properties are from File >> Properties, or at the top it looks like a hand holding a sheet of paper]
Matt also has these 2 blog posts about revision blocks, and a macro he's got:

I've never used the macro, but I found these pages for you. I hope they help.
