Concept-SKILL question: changing default property values

archive

Greetings all,

Working on a routine to change all the refdes values on a schematic.
Tried the csChangePropValue routine inside stdAccess.il  but it turns out
that function only works on custom properties because of its
copy template -> delete property -> create new property using template and new value
method. Turns out Concept won't let you delete a default property like LOCATION.

So, anyone know how to change a default property's value using Concept-SKILL?


TIA,

  • I just took a look at the csChangePropValue() routine.. Since cnCreateProps() accepts DBIDs
    all you have to do to fix the liimitation for default body props is remove this line:

    csDeletePropObjects(handle, propList)

    The new version is included below.

    procedure(
    csChangePropValue(handle, propList, new_value)
    let((tpl_list)
    if(propList then ;; Make sure there are properties to change!
    if(isCallable('cnCreatePropTemplate) then
    ;;Get the template objects with changes included
    tpl_list = foreach(mapcan prop propList ncons(
    csBuildPropTemplate(prop, ?value new_value)))
    cnCreateProps(handle, tpl_list)
    else ;; Release is pre-PE13.5 so call the old routine
    foreach(prop propList
    csChangeProperty(handle, prop, new_value)
    );foreach
    );if
    );if
    );let
    );procedure
