The bottom line: update/create custom properties in assembly components while also updating custom properties in the assembly at the same time OR by reading them from the assembly .
The setup: I have assemblies of sheet metal parts with multiple configurations. Most components within the assembly also have multiple configurations. I need to modify the assemblies for specific jobs and add a job number and job name for tracking/identification. For each component of the assembly, the job number gets prefixed to the permanent part number, and the "job name" custom property is updated. That is a lot of repetitive updating of custom properties! Can a macro take care of this job?
The assembly configuration typically gets set once per job which also sets the component configurations.
