    Modify Sheet Set Custom Property Definitions

    After all these years, I FINALLY decided to get my head around the Sheet Set Manager (kudos to Kate Morrical's video series).

     

    I understand the need to create custom properties, and I can see that you can either "add" or "delete" custom properties, but is there any way to CHANGE the property after it's been defined?

     

    For example, if I create a custom property complete with a default value, but discover later that I made a spelling mistake (eg. "Darwn By" instead of "Drawn By"), is there any way to MODIFY it?

    Please use plain text.

    you can change the value, but not the label. I would guess that the thinking is that the custom property _may_ already be referenced by a field in a drawing, and changing the label would break the linkage. 

     

    I don't know if that's an accurate guess on my part or not: .dst files are not readable as text or xml.  Check with the SSM Editor on jtbworld.com - if anyone can do it, Jimmy Bergmark can..
