SOLIDWORKS Property Tool | Prepare CAD Data for PDM Migration Faster

September 10, 2026

The SOLIDWORKS Property Update Tool allows a user to rapidly scan a set of  SOLIDWORKS files capturing and exporting custom, or configuration-specific, properties from those files to support both reporting and mass modification.

Typically used by Customers embarking on a PDM / PLM implementation who have a desire to ensure that they have consistent and accurate metadata in their legacy data, prior to a manual or automated migration project...

...This tool features:

  • Multiple file export types available (e.g .xlsx, .csv, .json, .xml ) 

  • Easily delete all legacy properties to be replaced

  • Ability to delete specific properties on certain file types

The video demonstrates both the usage of the tool and how it can be incorporated into a manual legacy data migration task, if bringing in small datasets where a full Data Migration Service would not be warranted.
