NXOpen get detailed info of Lines

NXOpen get detailed info of Lines

(OP)
Hi, Im trying to check the dimensions of my prints in managed NX8.0.3.4 using NXOpen and vb 2010.

Right now Im able to check some properties of the dimension and to which objects the dim is associated.

My problem is that some dimensions are taken from section views, and instead of returning the associated edge it returns a line, with 'information->object' this is the output: Type Line (Section Edge Curve).

But programatically it only returns Line as type, and I havent been able to find a property that differentiates between simple lines and lines representing edges in section views(section edge curves).

The current workaround is asking for the lines information using: thesession.Information.DisplayObjectsDetails(selectedobjects) and storing this info in a text file and then reading the type so i can get the extra description (Section Edge Curve).

But im sure there has to be a way to differentiate them using some other way, i will really appreciate the help.

thanks
