    Custom Property Macro

      Hi,

       

      I found a macro to create custom properties in a SW file. I have modified the original to suit our needs, it works well except for the fact that it writes the custom properties to the custom tab. Instead I would like to write the same custom properties but to all configuration tabs.

       

      Can anyone help please?

       

      Public swApp As Object

      Public Part As Object

       

       

      Sub main()

       

       

      Set swApp = CreateObject("SldWorks.Application")

      Set Part = swApp.ActiveDoc

       

       

      Dim MyProp(1, 3) As String

       

       

      'Property names

      MyProp(0, 0) = "Material"

      MyProp(0, 1) = "Weight"

      MyProp(0, 2) = "SurfaceArea"

      MyProp(0, 3) = "Volume"

       

       

      'Property values

       

       

      MyProp(1, 0) = Chr(34) & "SW-Material" & Chr(34)

      MyProp(1, 1) = Chr(34) & "SW-Mass" & Chr(34)

      MyProp(1, 2) = Chr(34) & "SW-SurfaceArea" & Chr(34)

      MyProp(1, 3) = Chr(34) & "SW-Volume" & Chr(34)

       

       

      Dim m As Integer

       

       

      For m = 0 To 3

          retval = Part.AddCustomInfo3("", MyProp(0, m), 30, _

               MyProp(1, m))

      Next m

       

       

      End Sub
