Macro to Change a Text Message in a Solidworks Drawing

2D plans Layout
1

Hello 

I'm looking to make a macro with a button if possible, intended for Solidworks drawings.

Indeed, during the design phase, the plans of each room are made up of the mention "awaiting validation" (text edited in the background plan). Once the design is completed, these plans must then be marked "good for execution", which is until now changed manually by opening each drawing...

The idea would therefore be to create a macro that can automatically change the mention "pending validation" to "good for execution" and if possible without the need to open each plan.

I can't find a macro model that could match my request, so if anyone has an idea I'm all for it!

I thank in advance the person who could enlighten me.

It would be enough to create a property with a value waiting for validation or good for execution, to retrieve the value of this property on your MEPs and to change it either you use a utility like batchproperties (Mycad tool) or you change this property using a macro or the task scheduler  (which I believe also works for this task)

Okay, indeed I hadn't thought to try by going through the properties, I'll see what I can do!

Thank you:)
