Save custom prop modifications made in "Visualization"

Hello

I use the visualization tool to edit the custom properties of the parts from the assembly. The advantage is the speed, and to have the visual of the room next to it.

However, when I register my assembly, the modifications of the parts are not taken into account, except for rare exceptions.

All the pieces are in solved mode.

The "save all" option is not more effective.

Do you have the same problem?

Thank you

Hello;

This issue was referenced in the 2018 release of Solidworks. It is still not resolved to date (Solidworks 2021) and it's a shame.

I have to admit that it was very practical. And I don't know of any effective alternatives at the moment.

I'm looking for the KB associated with this problem but I can't connect to the Solidworks portal (there too they have some correction work to do...).

What a disappointment!

Thank you Maclane for your answer.

(should I click on "This answer solved my problem"?)

Hello Yve;

For your click on "this answer solved my problem" it's up to you, the problem is not solved but Solidworks doesn't seem to be in a hurry to find a solution. However, this will prevent you from being harassed by LYNKOA who doesn't really like unresolved discussions.

I can't even find the request for revision on this subject anymore. (SR and not KB as mentioned in my previous message)

A very small lead though, (SolidWorks 2020 help) but I don't really believe in it....

Kind regards.

Indeed, the change of material is well taken into account.

And if you change a custom property at the same time, it works too.

It's not easy but it may still be the best.

ERATUM : As far as italics are concerned, it doesn't work either...

Thank you

Reply to the ticket I started at the same time as this topic:

According to SOLIDWORKS' feedback, this is indeed a bug reported in 2017 and marked resolved for the 2022 version of SOLIDWORKS, (SPR: 1134878 - 'It is not possible to keep the changing a custom property in column of Assembly Visualization')

As specified in the developer's answer, there will be no other workarounds today than two modifying the property directly in the room

Hello

Here is a macro proposed by d.roger that somewhat compensates for the bug of the visualization tool

Thank you to him!
