This is what the macro actually does to a part pulled from McMaster-Carr: it strips the scraped junk — vendor URLs, duplicated part numbers, raw catalog strings — and replaces it with clean, consistent property fields, in seconds, across an entire assembly.

01
SCOPE Clears every custom property McMaster writes into a part — not a partial wipe.

02
CONSISTENCY Applies the same cleanup logic to every part, so your BOM doesn't inherit one-off formatting.

03
ERROR RATE Removes the manual, part-by-part editing where mistakes usually creep in.

04
COMPATIBILITY Runs as a standard VBA macro — works on any SOLIDWORKS version, no install required.
