Drawing Properties

[comcu]

Hi,

 

Does anyone now away of altering the drawing properties without opening the drawing?

 

I have set up a few custom properties and linked them to fields in my title block.

 

I was hoping to be able to update the title blocks drawing status without opeing the drawing in this manner.

 

I have tried it and it works fine modify the drawing properties within the drawing but when i try to do this without opening the drawing the properties are locked?

 

Thanks for any help,

I haven't found a way to do change the custom properties externally. I did write a script or VBA routine (can't remember which) to change a batch of drawings but each drawing still needed openning.

Yeah I spent ages last night googling trying to find out if its possible and couldnt get one example.

 

I will have a look at vba, it would have been so much easier if the propeties were editable externally!

 

thanks for the confirmation.

 

Cheers,
