Hi.

our company is about to use the solidworks (enovia) EPDM, unfortunately all our parts,assembly and drawings filled in custom properties and know the EPDM is going to read/add all the values from/to specific configuration properties.

I read almost most of the discussions with alot of macros but again unfortunately most of them don't work (the macro dosn't work, not its action, maybe because that most of them are from 5 years ago).

can someone please help me with a working macro that moves or copies the file properties from custom to specific configuration to all files in folder.

Thanks in advanced.

Hi Oren

This will get you started it copies configuration specific property to custom properties....SolidWorks MakroMania - Dateieigenschaften kopieren

Google translate will help translation. The rest is a little self-help.

I've used macros which are here on the forums (could not find the link or macro now) and they had worked great. So share the file or link of the one you're using and one can check/verify that.

I do not have a macro for you to use but want to share that we only use the custom properties in our Solidworks files and EPDM. We rarely use configuration specific properties and EPDM works just fine with this. If you do not currently use configuration specific properties and do not really need them EPDM does not require them. You just have to set your variables to only look at the @ configuration (custom properties).

This does not achieve what the OP asked. He want a macro that moves custom property (per model) to configuration-specific properties for a directory of models.

Yes but this can be starting point and can be tweaked.

Hi Oren and all,

Please download here a SolidWorks tool, which may help to manipulate custom and configuration specific properties.

Works without opening files and SolidWorks using SolidWorks Document Manager API.

It is a standalone tool, which may process all SolidWorks files in a folder and its sub-folders.

The attached version works for me using SolidWorks 2015 (I've performed a quick test).

Found in the SolidWorks Knowledge Base - (thank you SW support).

Enjoy,

Alexander
