SolidWorks VB-App Needed

SolidWorks Guru's-

I am hurting for an SW App in a major way. Not sure if anyone has
anything that can be given to me and modified to fit what I need, or if
I am going to be stuck paying someone to do the programming for me.
Either way, this is what I am needing.

What I need is an Application that will recursively check for a custom
property inside SolidWorks files. If this custom property has a
certain value, then a new custom property is created, added to that
part, and given the value of the SolidWorks file name. ( $PRP:"SW-File
Name" )

Can anyone point me in the right direction on the best way to get this
accomplished?

Thnx

 

The SW Task Scheduler has an 'Update Custom Properties' option that may
do it.

 

Look up DSOFile.dll on this NG using google. Read up on it and write the
macro it really isn't that much coding.

 

DSOFile will get the job done, but this is a windows operation and has
been known to cause errors in custom properties. Your VAR would be the
better choice as we have access to a programming tool from SolidWorks
to perform this same operation without opening SolidWorks and the risk
of damaging any files.

 

What errors has it caused. I know it cannot make an edit if the file is
opened or read only but that can be error handled. What else might go
wrong.
