I'm working on ways to streamline the processes at my workplace. One of the ways I'm working on is to reduce the number of points that we have to redundantly enter data. To that end, I'm restructuring our document templates and setting up our drawings to automatically pull data out of our assembly files. The problem is, the drawing files now have no custom properties of their own, and my CAD manager wants those properties populated so that the drawing files can be indexed and searchable via their properties in PDM (workgroup).

I found a "Migrate Properties" Macro (http://sw.fcsuper.com/index.php?name=UpDownload&req=viewdownloaddetails&lid=60) which should solve the problem, but it's picking out a single part in the drawing view and pulling over it's properties.

I know exactly zip about API programming, and 2 hours of pouring through the help file hasn't gotten me anywhere.

I'd be grateful for some ideas...

Thanks
