Hello
I'm looking for a macro to fill the custom properties table automatically with data from our filename.
The names of our file are composed as follows: "XX000-aaa-Part name" see example in PJ.
-1st line Piece-Name: we want to retrieve "part name"
-2nd line Landmark number: we want to recover: "aaa"
-3rd line Machine-number: we want to recover: "XX000"
If you have MyCADTools, the smart properties utility should meet your needs.
I wonder to what extent you can't do it with the "integrated" property form editor in SW, to look for in "Solidworks Tools" if you are under W10
Hello
To do what you want, you need the following features:
- GetTitle Method (IModelDoc2): Allows you to retrieve the name of the active 3D in Solidworks.
- Add3 Method (ICustomPropertyManager): Allows you to add a custom property in Solidworks.
Kind regards
