re-ordering of the dwg Custom Properties

[matthew.mccormack2257W]

Hi all,

Does anybody know of anyway to Re-order the DWG list of Custom Propertires without Deleting...

Without lisp, not that I know off,

You have to recreate them in the order that you want them to appear and delete the ones that are in the wrong order.

With Visual lisp you can get the summaryinfo of a document, you can read, set and create custom properties with visual lisp, so in a way you can 'set' the correct order there. But that would be more complex than doing it by hand, it would also not be interactive unless you add some dcl and a sorting routine.

If you were to consider third party add-ons, DotSoft's ToolPac contains a Drawing Properties Edit tool that lets users review and modify the properties of drawings without having to open them in the editor.  In the case of custom properties, you can easily add, delete, export/import, move rows up/down or to the top/bottom, sort, find/replace across the collection and more.  Also shows additional information about the file.

@TerryDotson nice, I didn't know about that one. I'll have to keep it in the back of my mind.

@Michiel.Valcke Years ago I found a tool here: https://www.cadtutor.net/forum/topic/42255-define-a-regen-after-closing-dwgprops/#comment-345615. Unfortunately it is no longer available there. But you can have my copie. Please note, that I have translated the dialog window to German. However, you can change the DCL file to your desired language. You only have to exchange the German terms.

Another helpfull tool is "steal" by Lee Mac. You can find it here: https://www.lee-mac.com/steal.html . With this tool, you can import custom properties an much more from other drawings.

Hope this is helpfull for you.
