Hello I use BatchProperties to populate a list of properties about parts and assemblies in a large assembly, including a DESCRIPTION property, which populates the name of the current configuration. The problem arises when I have parts and assemblies used multiple times under different configurations in my main assembly. The BatchProperties part drop-down list does not identify that the same part can be used multiple times in different configurations.
When I display the configurations (via the display mode options) there is only one configuration highlighted in bold among the one I use.
I tried to fill in all the properties of the document. But the manipulation only duplicates the list with identical values of CONFIGURATION NAME on all configurations. I end up with an identical description on a multitude of different configurations. I also tried to modify the properties of each configuration by checking or unchecking the BOM Options and Advanced Options in Solidworks.
Do you have a solution to account for multiple active configurations if a part is used multiple times?
If you choose active config in the 2 (read, write), if it works fine every time a config is used in the assembly, it should add the description property in the active config. (To be tested)
MyCad tools have never been very good at managing configurations.
Obviously it all depends on the amount of property to be edited, but try SmartBom, because even if the processing is less automated, it will limit errors (especially if you are editing an assembly...).
Hello After several attempts, it seems that it is necessary to check: "From all configurations" & "On all configurations". Note however that if the part or assembly has too many elements to process and/or too many configurations (which was my case) then Batch Properties will not take into account all the elements. Thank you for your feedback
