a simple macro help.
i want to assign custom properties to part file or assembly file base on the file name structure.
the file name is like 1234567890baseplate.sldprt, which is 10 digit number plus part description.
so how can i assign the first 10 digit number to "partno" custom properties and assign the base plate ( the rest of the strings) as " description" custom properties.
thanks...

hi shaodun,
what you can do is strip the extension(always 7 characters) of the file name and then get the first 10 characters to use for "partno" and the rest for description".
code wise this can be done as seen below:
option explicit
dim swapp as sldworks.sldworks
dim swmodel as sldworks.modeldoc2
dim custpropmgr as sldworks.custompropertymanager
dim title as string, name as string, descr as string
dim retval as long
sub main()
set swapp = application.sldworks
set swmodel = swapp.activedoc
title = swmodel.gettitle
title = left(title, (len(title) - 7))
name = left(title, 10)
descr = right(title, len(title) - 10)
set custpropmgr = swmodel.extension.custompropertymanager("")
'if the custom properties do not exist if they do exist yu need to use custompropertymanager::set instead
retval = custpropmgr.add2("partno", swcustominfotype_e.swcustominfotext, name)
retval = custpropmgr.add2("description", swcustominfotype_e.swcustominfotext, descr)
end sub
in this world i am nobody...
and nobody is perfect !!!

answer title will not always be the actual filename can be totally different, blank, with a * if not saved, or custom.
option explicit
dim swapp as sldworks.sldworks
dim swmodel as modeldoc2
dim cpm as custompropertymanager
sub main()
set swapp = application.sldworks
set swmodel = swapp.activedoc
set cpm = swmodel.extension.custompropertymanager("")
dim path as string, filename as string, partno as string, desc as string
path = swmodel.getpathname
filename = mid$(path, instrrev(path, "\") + 1) ' with extension
filename = left$(filename, instrrev(filename, ".") - 1) ' remove extension
partno = left(filename, 10)
desc = right(filename, len(filename) - 10)
cpm.delete "partno"
cpm.delete "description"
cpm.add2 "partno", swcustominfotext, partno
cpm.add2 "description", swcustominfotext, desc
end sub
