How to reload custom properties?

How to reload custom properties?

(OP)
I threw together a macro to delete custom properties from a drawing which I put below. My problem is that although the macro works, the 'Custom Properties' tab on the side does not update automatically.

I've taken a look at other macros similar to mine in fuctionality, but none actually solve this issue. Is there a solution for this problem?

CODE -->

Sub main() Dim swApp As SldWorks.SldWorks Dim swModel As SldWorks.ModelDoc2 Dim vPropNames As Variant Dim bool As Integer Dim i As Integer Dim j As Integer Dim PartNoName As String Dim AddProp As Boolean Set swApp = Application.SldWorks Set swModel = swApp.ActiveDoc vPropNames = swModel.GetCustomInfoNames() j = 0 For i = 0 To UBound(vPropNames) If Not vPropNames(i) = "UNIT_OF_MEASURE" Then bool = swModel.DeleteCustomInfo(vPropNames(i)) j = j + 1 If bool = 0 Then MsgBox "Error deleting '" & vPropNames(i) & "' property." j = j - 1 End If End If Next i PartNoName = "$PRP:" & """SW-File Name""" AddProp = swModel.AddCustomInfo("PartNo", "Text", PartNoName) If j > 1 Then MsgBox j - 1 & " properties deleted." End If bool = swModel.ForceRebuild3(False) End Sub
