API Evaluating SW-Mass@Filename 1

[farful]

I currently have a macro to extract information from a part into an Excel file, such as its description and weight. I'm using the following:

ModelDoc.CustomInfo2(Configuration.Name, "Description")
ModelDoc.CustomInfo2(Configuration.Name, "Weight")

However, I'm having a problem with the weight. Instead of getting the evaluated value of the weight, I get the text string of "SW-Mass@@Configuration Name@Document Title". How can I get the numerical value of the weight instead of the text string?

farful,

If you are using SW2007 you want call CustomPropertyManager.Get2 (you will need to get the CustomPropertyManger object first). For SW2006 and SW2005 use ModleDoc2.GetCustomInofValue.

Note that in SW2007 ModelDoc2.CustomInfo2 is obsolete.
