Using TCL script to find and change property of a part in the scope of whole design file

set object [CapFindObjects $COrFindFilterDlg_PARTS {*}]

You can replace * with the property value present on the components.It's return the DboPlacedInst. You can itearte over each DboPlacedInst. Please make sure that schemticView(any one page is open) is active.

for example i am searching the property with Value "T4" and changing it value to "T3"

set object [CapFindObjects $COrFindFilterDlg_PARTS {T4}]
set lStatus [DboState]

foreach item $object {

set ItemId [$object GetId $lStatus ]
SelectObjectById $ItemId
SetProperty {TEST} {T3}

}

Hope this helps.

It works and satisfies my need perfectly. Just one more question for understanding, I understand that COrFindFilterDlg_PARTS is a enum type of COrFindFilterDlg::QueryModeT, any description for other enum types can we find in any relevant document? (because I cannot find any further info for COrFindFilterDlg_PARTS in "TclTk extension" document). Hope you can point out to help. Thanks.
