Adding To Ambom

[Kenter]

Hi all,

 

The company I work for makes many small parts and we need to add to a column in 'ambom' for over 2000 drawings. I want to know if its possible to write a LISP script that will go into 'ambom' go to the 'Partid' column and type 'Special', then hit apply/ok, save the file and close it as well. I know how to save and close. Just not sure if what I want is possible. Any idea's, let me know.

 

p.s. each drawing already has the 'Partid' column, so it does not need to be created, only edited.

We have a partid for a lot of other drawings, but for 2000 there is no partid. So we just put Special into that column. We add these through 'Annotate' 'Part Reference' and create our own headings/columns. Then to edit it, we can type 'ambom' and it opens a table sort of thing and we can change things from there. We have a few columns, as you can see from the image attached, but would like to go into the 'ambom' and change the partid column to Special. Like I said there are 2000 of them and it would take a long time to do.
