I admit it's been a few years but I've written vba code that builds an array of files in a folder/sub-folder and then steps through the files one at a time performing a sequence of commands. Problem is that code I wrote was for MDT not SW. I'd love to see a sample of a macro that builds an array of files - I've searched high and low with no luck.
I wrote this to create empty phantom part files (no features, no references) for BOM creation. The script traverses a database and creates a phantom part for each record, then adds custom properties.
Hope this helps. d
