Version: Windchill 13.0

Use Case: I have to do a mass update of the "Default Trace Code" attribut that is located on the Part Master.

Description:

typically use the LodFromFile utility to update attributes on WTParts and WTDocuments. To do this, I first create a CSV file following the format outlined in [Windchill_Home]/loadFiles/csvmapfile.txt. I then convert the CSV file into an XML file using the csv2xml utility.

Currently, I need to update the "Default Trace Code" attribute across multiple parts. However, I haven't found any documentation or guidance on how to create a suitable loader for Part Master attributes.

If not too many, this can be done via edit multiple object in a search results. Even thought this is master attributes, it will check out and check in the item, but you can edit master attribute, I believe. If that works, you can do these in batches very quickly. How many parts do you need to update?

Thank you for your reply. The "Edit Common Attributes" function only applies to a single part at a time. In my case, I need to update over 30,000 parts, so this approach isn't feasible.
