I want to copy custom property "Description" from parts and assemblies to corresponding drawings. I can do it manually in Windows Explorer if I sort by Name and then copy Description from part/assembly to drawing, but it is too much work for a lot of files.
I've tried #TASK application, becuse it has a task that can copy custom properties from parts or assemblies to drawings, but I have to select drawings to run the task and not parts and assemblies, which is no go, because I can't sort drawings by Description until I have it written.
Is there any simple option to do this?
I was wondering about double sort in Windows Explorer. First I would sort by Description to get all my parts and assemblies together and then I would do second sort to get all same names (part and drawing or assemblly and drawing) together. I would then choose all files and drag them to #TASK and then in #TASK I would select filter for drawings only.
The main reason I want to do this is because I want to sort drawings in Windows Explorer in group sorted by Description, so I have more simple work when I do tasks for exporting. Mind here that in my Explorer folder some files don't have description yet, because I have to finish them first.
Thanks for help.
I have strange wishes maybe. I didn't found a simple answer to my question.
I will ask differently. When I run a project I have all CAD data (assemblies, parts, drawings) in one folder. I've had up to 4000 files for some projects and I have non significant numbering. That means that I can have parts that go under one subassembly all over the folder. It is hard to select them in explorer as a group of files that go under same subassembly. I need this for batch runs in #TASK, because I usually do that for one subassembly. I've tried with description property, but my Windows Explorer keeps crashing and I think it is because of Description property that has to be loaded for all those files in Windows Explorer.
Does anybody have a simple solution for this?
