DWGPROPS ENTRIES

Is there a way to easily go between fields when using the DWGPROPS command, custom properties. I'm sure it's pretty simple. But when I'm trying to go to the next field it seems pretty cumbersome to have to select each new field manually and not hit enter or tab to go to the next one.

Once the DWGPROP Dialog's Custom Label is displayed, hit the TAB KEY once to change the focus into the Custom Properties list and then the DOWN ARROW KEY to highlight and navigate through fields.

This only allows me to navigate between the fields, but I still have to manually click the field in order to enter information. When I enter information in the first field I was hoping for a solution to be able to enter info in the next field without having to use my mouse and click the field.

Not an option with the core commands/pop-ups/features in the program.

IDK your needs, but how about batch editing custom properties with some lisp:

 

 

;;; Create or edit DWGPROPS Custom Properties 

(defun c:CUPRO ( / )

    (setq  si (vla-Get-SummaryInfo (vla-Get-ActiveDocument (vlax-Get-Acad-Object))))
    
    ;;; Change existing custom property value
    (vla-SetCustomByKey si "DwgProperty1" "New Value 1")
    
    ;;; Create new custom property and set a value
    (vla-AddCustomInfo si "DwgProperty2" "New value 2")
    
    (princ pval)

);defun
