I recorded a macro, but it has all sorts of hardcoded propterties in it instead of variables.
After clicking on a part in an assembly, the user will start the macro. The macro should:
1) Open the selected part
2) Go to Configurations->Properties
3) Change the Bill of Materials Part Number to "Document Name"
4) Go back to the Design Tree
5) Save and close the file
Please let me know what variables I should use to replace the 7 items in bold below.
Thank you!
