step-test.zip

I'm a solid edge user, and I have to export assemblies and parts to step format, for a customer that use OSD. All is ok for geometries and assemblies jerarchy: it works very well excpet cosmetic threads, but this is not a big problem.

My solid edge parts and assemblies have all custom properties filled in (material , description, code, surface treatment, etc.) but of course all these data are lost when exporting to step. I can create a table in excel or csv format with there properties, but is there a fast and effective way to import these properties into the corresponding part in the pkg file? Keep in mind that every assemply can be built by  several hundreds part.

I attach a test file.

Best regards, Alessandro.

thank you for answering!

In the meanwhile, I downloaded OSD-PE to make some testing, but I discovered that I'm not able even to create a simple custom property on a part, such as a new field named "surface treatment". I will try to study more!

Thank for the link, I didn't know it before, I will go to look for something useful there.

Best Regards.

May be I was not totally clear: for the moment, I don't need to have a dynamic link between excel-datas and Modeling parts, I want just copy and paste from the table to the model(s).
As in this video that I made in Solid edge:

Hi Alessandro,
OSD may be customized to the customers need to assign various attributes to parts, assemblies or other items, including density, color, transparency and reflectance.
There are several packages from OEMs to support these features, also in connection with data management and it depends on which package -if any- your customer uses.
Of course it is possible to write a LISP-script, which will read a csv-file and assign attributes to the model structure.
Since there are so various possibilities of additional informations concerning part properties and technological features and in which way they should be attached to the model, a function like this could not be standard functionality of OSD

lisp.zip

A user from the italian forum sent me two lisp: actually they don't do the job, but allow to create custom properties in a component of an assembly in OSD. May be they will be useful for somebody here.
