Re: PDM - Tool to bulk update variables in datacard

Thank you @jcapriotti and @JSculley !

I used the import from XML. This works perfectly, and was easy to do with the video.

This is going to save me endless hours and frustrations. And for free :D
I really appreciates the help!

PDM - Tool to bulk update variables in datacard

Does anyone know of a tool/Third-Party Software/add-in which we could buy in order to bulk update variables in PDM?

We have a lot of legacy parts which we would like to enrich with data.

I have created a dispatch, but that is not a suitable solution for 100.000+ files.

Search an interval via the search card

I have a variable on my Part card, which is a number that could be anything between 1000 and 5000. My users needs to find any projects where the input number is in an interval, lets say between 2000 and 2500. Most intuitive way for the users would be a min and max input field on the search card. But...
