Adding "custom properties" to a bunch of parts at once

Is there a way to add custom properties to many parts at once?

I'd like to add, say, 5 custom properties to a bunch of parts in an
assembly. Is there a way to do this without individually opening each
part and adding the custom properties?

I have exactly what you're looking for. Visit the website:

The macro is named "Batch add property" and will add up to 10(?)
parameters/values to every part and/or assembly in an entire directory.
There's an option to overwrite/retain existing values for matching
parameters.

Let me know how it works out.

 

SW Task shecduler will also do this (included with SW Office and above)

 

Its not free but really well put together is the Custom Property
Propagator, it will also deal with configuration properties and change
sheet templates if you need it to

You can get it at www.customsolids.com

Oh and one more thing for the next month if you watch my video you can

There is a way, but I don't know how many available tools can do that
actually. But "normal" batching with open works fine: here's my tools
for it: SWab and SWie, download www.markkulehtola.net -> SolidWorks
