Is there a way to add custom properties to many parts at once?
I'd like to add, say, 5 custom properties to a bunch of parts in an assembly. Is there a way to do this without individually opening each part and adding the custom properties?

I have exactly what you're looking for. Visit the website:

The macro is named "Batch add property" and will add up to 10(?) parameters/values to every part and/or assembly in an entire directory. There's an option to overwrite/retain existing values for matching parameters.
Let me know how it works out.
SW Task shecduler will also do this (included with SW Office and above)
Party on Steve! :)
Thanks for the compliment.

There is a way, but I don't know how many available tools can do that actually. But "normal" batching with open works fine: here's my tools for it: SWab and SWie, download

-> SolidWorks
