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

Question

Hello, all 
 I would like to achieve change property of parts in the scope of a whole design file. Right now, I am able to use "findparts and setproperty" commands to change property within a selected sch page, but not in the scope of a whole design file. Any ideas on how to possibly achieve it. Hope someone can shed some light on it. Would appreciate any help. 
 
 Regards,

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} 
 } 
 SaveAll 
 Hope this helps.
