good morning, as from title I would need to add property to .sldlfp files. Can you recommend some automatism?

If you start using the configured profiles, you only need to make them ten or a little more. You will perhaps lose some time to create and set the paths of use, but it is worth it and then any changes you will make, as said, only for type and not for every measure of type.

already use profiles created by me with a library as from image:
within each folder there are *.sldflp files of various sizes. I should add properties to these files.
What you tell me, that I can't understand well, would it mean starting from the beginning with another method? details made with the "old method" however should always have all the properties that I want to add at the moment.
We are talking about machines with thousands of parts and assemblies in which a larger number of properties appear.

first of all the modification of the profile property is not retroactive, because unless you in creating the structural element did not flag the connection to the profile means that the properties will not update (just a few minutes to make a verification).
Yes, I am suggesting you start with new profiles using configured ones, which are nothing but take one of your existing and create variants with the data table.
If you want to continue using those you already have and you have to make a massive modification I think you can only do it with a macro, but then the information you gave is few.
I would therefore begin to understand whether the modification of the properties on repercussions on the existing parts.

I don't know how to do this and honestly I don't remember how it was created.

instinctively the way to go is this also according to me. what information is needed?
These are the properties of a current file:
I would like to add five more.

- take a part to which you would like to add the properties that obviously contains a body made with a profile; make a copy to work on or use as backup
-identifies the type of profile used
-make a backup copy of the profile
-change the original profile by adding the properties or if you want to be sure by changing the sketch
-open the part file and check if it has changed.
if it has changed you are in place and you will have to change only the profiles
if it has not changed more than changing the profiles you will have to change the thousands of parts you have already created.
without being able to write macro in the meantime I would say if they are properties with variables or with fixed texts because in the first case it will be a macro that must add the same property on all profiles, in the second will be a macro that for each profile will have to write a precise text.
For example, tub100x100x5 only applies to a profile while sw-mass is valid for everyone.
attention that profile properties are reported in the separate cut and not in the properties of the side file.

Okay, this is the situation.So I think that by intervening with the planning utility on the already created parts that contain a profile, I will get my result.
I leave the properties unchanged as they are written in the profile and everything will work for future pieces when I use the part template with already in the additional properties.

but do you have to change the properties of part or the separate cut?

of the part created with the profiles (and also of the other thousand thousand created differently and/or trade).
not having deepened, I thought you had to add the extra properties on the profile file, instead you made me understand that I have to, besides updating the template, add the properties to the already created parts.
n.b. I do not receive mail notification of answers.

if you have to fill out the properties of the welded folders, with the planning utility do nothing. You'll have to go hand-fill all the files, there's no alternative. the profiles with the necessary properties before starting to model, the properties would be compiled correctly at cost 0.

Yes, it is, but at first I had no idea how it worked, but having used the profiles within parts created with templates, on these I can act with the planning utility, while for future details the additional properties will already be inside the template. that what I wanted to do about *.sldlfp is useless, fortunately I would say!

After years of using traditional (unconfigured) profiles, I've spent a year on configured profiles, re-creating from scratch the profile library that I use and immediately preparing all the measures available on the prontuaries of my customers' suppliers.
advantages with configured profiles:
1- speed of preparation and modification of many profiles, working on excel
2- When changing a section of a profile without changing files the rotation and position of the section is maintained. For example, if I replace a 50x30x3 frame tube with one of 60x40x3 does not reset the section position compared to the line, but it is maintained all the same
3- when changing profile the tables (if already done) do not lose references to quotas/annotations.
disadvantages
when in a file there are many configurations the selection becomes slower and heavier, but still acceptable.

I see that the benefits are really remarkable, I didn't know! It is worth migrating, surely.
I tried to put on the "configured profiles" guide, but I found nothing concrete, you know what I should look for?

Info profili Sw2019
Ciao ragazzi perchè non riesco a vedere i profili per le saldature che faccio nel tab di Solidworks 2019? Mi sembra di fare tutta la procedura corretta. Allego il file della libreria e un immagine dove si può notare che la libreria di test non è neppure selezionabile...

on the description field can I make the configuration name appear?
I didn't find the way.

in the data table you must have all the properties that interest you then you can fill them in automatically.

I'll be late but I don't understand. I can't name a "description" column in the excel.
