Copy the custom iProperties to all files in the folder

[Anonymous]

Good day everyone,
in the main report I write the appropriate number in the user property Order number. I need this number to be written to all iam, ipt and idw files in the current folder with one click. There is a solution to do this using iLogic.
Thanks
Martin

Could you please explain a little more detailed of what you need?

Hi @Anonymous  Try this code.

'Enter the folder path where your files are located.
oFolder = "C:\Users\User\Desktop\Inventor\iProperty_WriteToAllFilesInFolder"

oFiles = System.IO.Directory.GetFiles(oFolder)
For Each oFile In oFiles
	If oFile.Contains(".idw") Or oFile.Contains(".dwg") Or oFile.Contains(".ipt") Or oFile.Contains(".iam")
		'MsgBox(oFile)
			
		ThisApplication.Documents.Open(oFile, True)
		Dim oDoc As Document = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument
			
		customPropertySet = oDoc.PropertySets.Item("Inventor User Defined Properties")
		
		Try
		      prop = customPropertySet.Item("Order_Number")
		Catch
		      ' Assume error means not found
		      customPropertySet.Add("", "Order_Number")
		End Try
			oDoc.PropertySets.Item("Inventor User Defined Properties")("Order_Number").Value = "Order_Value"

			oDoc.Close(False)	
	End If
					
Next

@Anonymous  You need to open a blank document. From there you cn run the rule.

Here is a link to a related solution I published within my Contribution posts, that I think you may find useful in this case.  When you run this rule, it will display a Windows Form (fully created within the rule).

 This form allows you to specify the iProperty's Name, its value's data type (drop-down list - sets the property's type), its Value, the target folder (with Browse button and read only result box), and select which types of documents you want it to target within that folder (drop-down list).  When you click Start, it will start processing all the matching documents within that folder.  If a property by that name already exists, it will update its value.  If it doesn't exist, it will create it.  And when it's done processing, it will let you know with a message.
