Modify Solid Edge files using data preparation programs

The Modify program modifies the files listed in the Analysis Report according to the specifications you enter in the spreadsheet.

Note:

The Modify program updates properties of the unmanaged files directly. You must have write access to the unmanaged files to use the Modify program.

  1. Choose Start→Programs→Solid Edge ST5→Data Preparation→Modify.

  2. In the Data Prep Utilities - Modify Files dialog box, click Browse.

  3. Locate the Excel spreadsheet on your computer that contains the unmanaged Solid Edge files to be modified.

    This file was generated by the Analyze program. The default location for the spreadsheet is \Program Files\Solid Edge ST5\Program. The default name for the spreadsheet is datapreputilitiestemplate.xlsm.

  4. Click Process.

    The length of time required for processing depends on the number of files to process. A status notification is displayed to let you know when processing is complete, and the graphic window updates to display the results.

    The results of processing the data are also written to a log file.

  5. (Optional) Click View Logfile to view the contents of the log generated during modification of the spreadsheet data.
