VB access to "Precisely render overlapping geometry"

Can anyone tell me how to gain access through VB code to a particular SW setting?
It's a new setting to SW 2007 and can be accessed manually at TOOLS -> OPTIONS -> DOCUMENT PROPERTIES -> IMAGE QUALITY.
In the frame titled "Wireframe and high quality HLR/HLV resolution", the check box for "Precisely render overlapping geometry (higher quality, but slower)".
This seems to only be availably in a .slddrw type file. We've noticed that this one pick can make a file size 1.5 times bigger but can't tell any difference in the quality.
Maybe because of the kind of work we do.
We would like to be able to access this setting directly through code to turn it off (un-check) the box.
Can anybody help? I've already tried SW Help -> SolidWorks and Add-Ins API Help topics
It would be helpful to know if it's NOT even possible to access.

Thanks

KenBolen,

We're still using 2007. This was something new to SW 2007. I'm not sure if it's still there in 2008.

Thanks
