How to check the properties of welded sections?

Hello

I realize that there are errors in the properties of my mechanically welded profiles (SLDLFP files), error resulting from the declination of a profile made in an incomplete way. So, when I put a profile like a Ø10 tube, it shows me Ø12 tube (it's a simplified example).

How can I view the properties of my profiles without opening them one by one by hand (just for the most common profile, I have 90 files)?

Hello, can you send me the source file?

Thank you

Hello

In " file properties" click on the dimension that drives the desired value.
If the latter changes, the designation will also follow.
Below is an example:


Kind regards

It seems to me a nice digging:


I hope @stefbeno has solved his problem since then!

Despite the water that has passed under the bridge, the problem is not solved :roll_eyes:, the answers do not solve the problem.
The problem is that I don't know which files were concerned from which version of SW :face_with_spiral_eyes:

Hello
Apart from macro I don't see a solution.
Since there are files that open in SW, you can either open them one by one to retrieve the information or perhaps go through the document manager APIs to retrieve the data without opening the files.

In this case if you find the files concerned, it can be done by macro (not tested):

Otherwise Integration (MyCadTools utility) supports library files:

So with the right rule you can maybe via the file name overwrite the Description property.
Last solution, redo your library with a profile via room family.
And there you manage your property via the Excel table (with formula linked to the dimensions), it's much simpler and in addition the profiles lose less constraints when you change sections.

I haven't tested it but integration is indeed an idea well suited to my situation.
I can't redo the library, we're still working with old versions of SW...

The list of welded parts has existed since 2018 or before for information depending on the version you use (if sw2002, indeed it's complicated!)

The problem is that these are profiles that are difficult to configure (typically modular aluminum profile).
