how to edit multiple parts

Hello,

Is there any way how to automate similar tasks on multiple parts?

e.g. I have list of the parts (about 100 parts), and need to add sheetmetal conversion feature to each,

  - to add parameter and assign it  to dimension,

  - to create coord.system,

  - to add annotate on surface containing part's name....

  - or if not exist, to create saved orientation

  - ...

I know, some task can be done only with help of user (to select reference, to enter value...).

If I do that manually i need to open every part (type its name to open dialogbox), do the task, regenerate, save, close, open next part...

I would like to have automated this in such way that creo just ask for the references or to enter values for every part.

I do this partially with help of mapkeys but it could be better.. (at least automate the parts list).

I work in creo 3

thanks for reply.

Michal
