Propa-Gator is a SolidWorks tool for effective management of Custom Properties which aids in organizing information.
I recently came across the Custom Property Propagator software and I must say, I am thoroughly impressed. This program provides an efficient and effective way of managing Custom Properties across multiple SolidWorks files. It's an ingenious little program that allows you to define all your properties in one place and then propagate some or all of them to whatever groups of SolidWorks files you prefer.
What's even better is that the properties you define won't disappear when you exit the program or finish running a batch of files through. They'll stay there until you decide to delete them. And if you don't want to use some of them on a particular run, simply uncheck them and they will be duly ignored.
Not only can you choose to delete or overwrite undesired properties, but you can also leave them alone. Plus, you don't even have to enter the properties into the Propa-Gator the first time if you have a sample file that has everything the way you want it. With a simple click, the Propa-Gator will replicate all the properties from the sample file and enter them for you to accept or edit.
And the best part? The Propa-Gator is fast! If you are dealing with properties at the Model-Level, the program does not need to open the files in SolidWorks, but simply writes your properties and values directly to the OLE structured storage portion of the file.
Overall, I would highly recommend the Custom Property Propagator software to anyone looking for an efficient and effective means of managing Custom Properties across multiple SolidWorks files. It's a game changer!
