Hi everybody

Anybody knows if its possible to delete a row from the “Autogeneration Property” window? If yes, how can I do it?

Thanks

Hi @a.alonsosalas,

If you are using a pre-2017 version you can delete the autogen properties from the project *PnIdPart.xml:

How-to-delete-project-autogeneration-properties

If you are using 2017 you need to delete it from the ProcessPower.dcf file.

To delete it from the projects DCF file you need to use an SQLite editot (I use SQLite Expert but there are many other options).

I would strongly recommend backing up the project before manually editing the database DCF files.

It should be noted that hacking the database DCF file like this is not officially supported and done at your own risk.

Thanks,

Dan

Hi Dan.Scales

I`m using the 2017 version.

Understood, very important to make back up of the project before editing the database.

Is possible to use the “SQLite Expert Personal 4.x” (it`s free) or need the “SQLite Expert Professional 4.x”?

Thanks a lot for your answers

Hi again Dan.Scales

I`ve been looking for the “PnPAutogenProperties” in the “ProcessPower.dcf” file (cause I`ve 2017 version) but couldn’t find the file in this way.

I finally found it by the other way (like pre-2017 versions) with the xml editor in the “PIP_Metric_PnIdPart.xml” file like you can see in the attached screenshot.

Thanks a lot
