Link SOLIDWORKS custom properties from text file

This VBA macro allows to link external comma separated file into the configuration specific or file specific custom properties of SOLIDWORKS file.

CSV file consists of 2 columns (property name and property value) without a header.

If value of the cell contains special symbol " then the cell must have "" at the start and ant the end of the cell value.

Company,Xarial Pty Limited
Material,"""SW-Material"""
Mass,"""SW-Mass"""

You can use Excel to modify these values and export to CSV file with comma delimiter, special symbol will be formatted correctly automatically.

Commas and new line symbols in the property names or values are not supported

Set the value of the CLEAR_PROPERTIES constant to True or False to configure if existing properties need to be deleted before updating.

Set ALL_COMPONENTS to True to process all components of the assembly

Const ALL_COMPONENTS As Boolean = True

In order to dynamically link external text file and update properties on every rebuild, use the following macro.

Set the value of the UPDATE_ON_CSV_FILE_CHANGE_ONLY constant to True or False to configure if properties need to reload only if properties text file is changed or always when macro.

Const UPDATE_ON_CSV_FILE_CHANGE_ONLY As Boolean = False

Macro will ask for the following input parameters upon insertion of the macro feature:

Should the properties be configuration specific or file specific
Should the properties be cleared upon update
Should the reference components of the assembly be included into the scope of the properties

Properties will be automatically updated upon rebuild of the macro feature.
