Hello
I would like to be able to change the custom properties model on a whole batch of parts of a folder (operation that I have to do piece by piece.. see attachment)
I searched on the Mycad tools side, and on the macro side, but I couldn't find anything that met my request.
Do you know a way to do this?
Thanks in advance
Charles
Hello
The BatchPropertie utility meets exactly this demand:
Presentation of the "BatchProperties" utility
The features of "BatchProperties":
You can also use Integration.
Hello, Thank you for your answer,
The batch properties changes the properties but not the model.
So I can't change my properties via the "personal property" panel
Unless I haven't seen an option, I think the Batch properties is not able to do what I want.

Hello
Will this new custom property model replace the previous one for all your files?
If so, then you name your new PP template exactly like the previous one and delete the old one. This way, your files will refer to a file with the same name but which has changed.
Now if it is still necessary to use your old PP template, then yes I am afraid that you will have to type your files one by one.
Good luck
So maybe the CopyOptions utility meets the need better?
Thank you both,
Tictic's answer meets my needs exactly, however I need to keep both property models, I'll have to get used to the idea of modifying the files 1 by 1.
Renaming the template was the simple solution but doesn't work in my case, because I need to be able to keep the files before the template change intact.
I tried the CopyOption, same, it copies the properties but not the template.
If you ever have other ideas.

As .PL says, with Integration you should be able to modify the properties and change the model.
Ah, but in fact we're talking about the property form, right?
So the files are here:
C:\PropgramData\Solidworks\SolidWorks <version>\lang\French

Silly question:
Why do you use SolidWorks custom properties when you have myCADTools (and therefore Smarproperties).
As a reminder, Smartproperties allows you to complete properties and does more than what the SolidWorks property form does.
Hello
Create templates (or forms), change it in a room, I already do it manually, and it works very well, Change properties with BatchProperties as well. But once the batch properties is over, I still have to change all the models, and that's where I have to deal with them one by one.
the idea is that I have folders containing hundreds of 3D files, and I would like to know how to change the template (form, which is already created) in a whole Folder.
I looked with integration, I don't see how to change the model.
A lead?
Thank you for your help.
Hello
I don't use SmartProperties, as many Parts/Assemblies were created before the acquisition of MyCadTools.
This is an "update" of old 3d files so no SmartProperties.
Thank you for the idea anyway:)
Charles
Have you tested my solution to replace files in the SolidWorks folder?
After I close SolidWorks and reopen the file, what happens?
@CharlyBoy: Even if many parts and assemblies were completed before acquiring the myCADtools, you can switch to smartproperties very easily, this will save you from having to do "mass" manipulations to integrate, on old parts, the new SolidWorks property forms.
