Evaluating input formulas without touching the data card

Hi all,

     Wondering if anyone has created an Addin for this.  We need to evaluate input fomulas for a bunch of variables when a user checks-in a file.  All the formulas have a variable called "surface area" which is a custom property in our solidworks files (we're calculating plating weight).  Has anyone figured out how to evaluate the input formulas on check-in?

It seems that built in functionality requires you to edit teh data card manually for the input formulas to evaluate.

Thanks in advance,

Mike
