Prerequisites

If you need to update properties of a defined element type, or a combination of element types, for the whole assembly at once you should invoke the Mass Update Properties functionality from the Assembly Root. If you already know a specific assembly tree element range to update, you should invoke the Mass Update Properties functionality from that specific assembly tree element.
Note: When using the Mass Update Properties, updating fields with inappropriate value or creating a number of envelope elements in an assembly, may corrupt data.

To mass update properties:

  1. Navigate to an assembly you need to update.
  2. Depending on the update action you would like to perform, select one of the following invocation points:

    — Assembly Root

    — Folder

    — Leaf

    — Reference Leaf

    — Document

    — Placeholder

  3. Right-click the selected assembly tree element. The menu appears.
  4. Select Mass Update Properties from the menu.

    The Select an Assembly Tree Element to Update window appears.

  5. On the Select an Assembly Tree Element to Update page, select the check box next to the element you need to update. The list of properties to update appears on the same page.

    You can select one or multiple elements to update. The list of properties that appears after you select the check box depends on the selected element or combination of selected elements.

  6. Select the check box next to each property you need to update and enter the values.
  7. When all the needed updates are performed, do one of the following:
Option Action
To cancel the changes: Click Cancel.
