Hi I did a simple test in 2012 SAP and 2013 Sp1...
I've got a bunch of cubes (cube, cube1, ..., cube5).
They all have a custom property named "MyProperty"
If I run this in Softimage 2012 SAP, I get a [multi] : [multi] PPG
Application.InspectObj( "*.MyProperty" )
If I edit the parameters, the edits are applied to all the custom properties
eg
Application.SetValue("cube.MyProperty.Param,cube1.MyProperty.Param,cube2.MyProperty.Param,cube3.MyProperty.Param,cube4.MyProperty.Param,cube5.MyProperty.Param",
[13, 13, 13, 13, 13, 13], "")
Application.SetValue("cube.MyProperty.Param1,cube1.MyProperty.Param1,cube2.MyProperty.Param1,cube3.MyProperty.Param1,cube4.MyProperty.Param1,cube5.MyProperty.Param1",
[False, False, False, False, False, False], "")
Application.SetValue("cube.MyProperty.Param2_R,cube1.MyProperty.Param2_R,cube2.MyProperty.Param2_R,cube3.MyProperty.Param2_R,cube4.MyProperty.Param2_R,cube5.MyProperty.Param2_R",
[0.513, 0.513, 0.513, 0.513, 0.513, 0.513], "")

Subject: Re: inspect multiple objects as one by script
I tried that, but it lists all the various objects parameters as seperate
parameters. I don't have a one parameter controls all type behaviour that I'm
looking for. I'm in SI2012sap though, so maybe it's a behavior that has changed
in 2013? Anyway, it's not the end of the world. I'll just select the various
objects and they can themselves inspect it using the right tab selection menu.
I was just wondering if I could automate that part, but I can't seem to make it
work.
