Hello, 

I have wrote a short macro for moving the configuration description (Capture3 & Capture4) into the custom properties. I have a couple of problems which I hope somebody can help me with. They are below:

1. The custom property "Title" sticks with only the first description it holds and does not update with each configuration.

2. The custom property is placed under the custom tab and it needs to be placed in the configuration specific tab as it can be different for each configuration (Capture & Capture1)

The code I have is below. Sorry for it being messy as im new to macros and have just got code from the solidworks API help.
