modify properties in many files

[Anonymous]

I need to modify properties in many files. I thought I once saw a routine that would allow you to work on the properties of many file at the same time outside of Inventor. I think it use excel as the interface. But now I can't seem to find it. Anyone know of such a thing. Thanks Rick

Design Assistant can do this.

Though it runs inside of Inventor, not outside, you can try YIPPEE v3.5.0. It runs from within the assembly/weldment environment. I posted the newest version yesterday in this NG at 4pm EDT.

I used to have one that ran in Excel and let you pick directories. For most things it worked fine, but it really needed a rewrite, and I decided to take it off the site. If you would still like it I could email a copy to you. -- Kent Keller http://www.KWiKMcad.com Autodesk Discussion Group Facilitator "RMD" wrote in message news:408675d9_2@newsprd01... > I need to modify properties in many files.

Thanks Sean, Brian and Kent I download YIPPEE v3.5.0. and its exactly what I needed. What a sweet utility, Thanks Brian, a real time saver. It would be nice to be able to sort by column in a future release. Thanks again Rick "RMD" wrote in message news:408675d9_2@newsprd01... > I need to modify properties in many files.

Consider it added to the wish list. I will certainly consider that ability in the future. "RMD" wrote in message news:408690e8$1_1@newsprd01... > It would be nice to be able to sort by column in a future release.
