Clear all meta properties of a filegroup

PDM Generality

The idea is to start from an existing assembly on which metaproperties have been put. they are no longer relevant.

 

I want to use batchproperties to recreate new metaproperty. When I do it, it adds the new properties without deleting the old ones.

for example, I end up with duplicates (Mass; mass, MASS). So I would like to leave with no properties before adding with BatchProperties. Do you have a quick way to process these set of files?

Hello

BatchProperties Help page:

If you want to delete all the properties of one or more files, in this case in the variable name field you will put the character "*" and check the box "Remove property".

So you have to use star as a joker.

Let's assume that you use Smartproperties to populate your metaproperties.

If you start from an existing assembly, you can also set up Smartproperties to remove the "poluent metaproperties" at validation:

See example below:

So you can set your smartproperties to start with the removal of Mass properties; mass, MASS.

 

Another idea: to improve the quality of your existing data, you can also use the integration utility (more complete than Batchproperties)
