Copy iProperties

[GeorgK]

Hello together,

how could I copy all iProperties from one part to another part in an assembly?

Thank you Georg

Copy Design Properties might be a tool to look into.

Otherwise, how many files do you need to do this for? More detail is always cool too.

Hello Justin,

the tool is very good for some cases. But I need it a bit more flexible. Do you have an idee how to copy the iproperties to clipboard?

Thanks

Georg

Hi George,

try this one i'm using for long time. Working good for me. You just add as many iproperties you need. There is one for e.g.

Hope it will help you. Run rule from assembly

Dim oDoc As Document = ThisDoc.Document
Dim oRefDoc As Document
For Each oRefDoc In oDoc.AllReferencedDocuments
	If oRefDoc.DocumentType = kPartDocumentObject Then
		modelName = IO.Path.GetFileName(oRefDoc.FullFileName)
	Try
		' Set the value 
		iProperties.Value("Project", "Description") = iProperties.Value(modelName, "Project", "Description")
		 
	Catch
	End Try
	End If
Next
iLogicVb.UpdateWhenDone = True

Simple code to copy description to clipboard:

Imports System.Windows.Forms
 
Sub Main
  Dim Description As String = iProperties.Value("Project", "Description")
  Clipboard.SetText(Description)
End Sub

Hello MisterZ,

thank you very much for your help. I try it tomorrow.

Another thing you could do for customization is write them all to an excel
file, change it in there and have them write back.

Is it possible to copy and paste the material as well?

Yes, it is. Unless it is in your library in that part, then it might be a little more difficult. If you just need the name, it's still very simple.
