Accessing Properties in skill in the symbol editor

I would like to be able to change a user property with a SKILL program in a loaded symbol (.dra file) . Does anyone have any suggestions on how to do that ?

Tks!

Not sure exactly what you mean but try using axlDBAddProp.

I have a symbol loaded in the symbol editor.

I have a property added to the user library using

axlDBCreatePropDictEntry("Date_Created_Modified" "STRING" "SYMBOL")

I modified the Date_Created_Modified by using edit properties and it contains a value.

when I try to use

p = axlSelectByProperty("symbol" "DATE_CREATED_MODIFED")

It always comes back NIL.

How can I change the property with axlDBAddProp without being able to set 'p' ?

To set the property: axlDBAddProp(nil list('DATE_CREATED_MODIFIED "test1"))

The property is stored here: axlDBGetDesign()->prop

So, axlDBGetDesign()->prop->DATE_CREATED_MODIFIED gives you the value.
