API/VBA to Get Sheetmetal Thickness Property from Open Drawing (slddrw file)

Hi Guys,

I am wondering if anyone has found a method of getting custom properties ie. Sheetmetal Thickness directly from a drawing file? I dont want to have to open the model if I dont have to, but after doing some searching, I have found little info to suggest that I can get it directly, as these properties are not embedded within the drawing.

With this being said, I am guessing I may have to:

1. Open Drawing

2. Open the model

3. Extract Thickness

4. Close Model

Cheers,

Stef
