extract custom property from selected part in drawing view
i am trying to do just as the title states. i have a drawing open with a part selected inside a drawing view. i would like to be able to extract a custom property from the selected part, without opening it in a different window.
here is my code so far:
sub main()
dim swapp as sldworks.sldworks
dim swmodel as sldworks.modeldoc2
dim swcomp as sldworks.component2
dim swdraw as sldworks.drawingdoc
dim swselmgr as sldworks.selectionmgr
dim swview as sldworks.view
dim swrootdrawcomp as sldworks.drawingcomponent
dim swcompmodel as sldworks.modeldoc2
set swapp = application.sldworks
set swmodel = swapp.activedoc
set swdraw = swmodel
set swselmgr = swmodel.selectionmanager
set swview = swselmgr.getselectedobject5(1)
set swrootdrawcomp = swview.rootdrawingcomponent
set swcomp = swrootdrawcomp.component
set swcompmodel = swcomp.getmodeldoc
msgbox swcompmodel.getcustominfovalue("", "description")
end sub
any help is appreciated.
thanks!
