Custom iProperty CUTDETAIL in Frames is not accesible from VBA or iLogic

[richter]

I need to read the value of Custom iProperty CUTDETAIL, which is created by Mitter function in Frame Generator. When I try to read the property in iLogic, or VBA, error message says that such property doesn't exist. It looks like the property CUTDETAIL is not a standard Inventor iProperty. Is the any way how to read the value?

Following is the VBA code I used. 

Thank you!! 

Public Sub MitterRead()

' Get the active part document.
Dim invPartDoc As PartDocument
Set invPartDoc = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument

'Get the custom property set.
Dim invCustomPropertySet As PropertySet
Set invCustomPropertySet = _
invPartDoc.PropertySets.Item("Inventor User Defined Properties")

' Attempt to get "CUTDETAIL1".
On Error Resume Next
Dim invVolumeProperty As Property
Set invVolumeProperty = invCustomPropertySet.Item("CUTDETAIL1")
MsgBox (invVolumeProperty.Value)
If Err.Number <> 0 Then
MsgBox ("Error")

Else

End If

End Sub

Never expect anything normal when working with frame generator files, while you were asking for the display name the actual name is not the same. I don't know if some consistency exists in how things are done, but if so I sure wish it was published. The code below will get what you want in iLogic.

        ' Get the active part document.
        Dim invPartDoc As PartDocument = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument
        'Get the custom property set.
        Dim invCustomPropertySet As PropertySet = invPartDoc.PropertySets.Item("Inventor User Defined Properties")

        ' Attempt to get "CUTDETAIL1".
        Try
            For Each p As Inventor.Property In invCustomPropertySet
                If p.DisplayName = "CUTDETAIL1" Then
                    MsgBox(p.Value)
                End If
                'MsgBox(p.DisplayName & vbLf & p.Value & vbLf & p.Name)
            Next
        Catch ex As Exception
            MsgBox(ex.Message)
        End Try

Just to add some precision to Mike's post :

you cannot retrieve "CUTDETAILx" custom property via a call like invCustomPropertySet.Item("CUTDETAIL1"), because when you do so, the accessor looks the value in the Name property of the custom property.

Yet for a reason I ignore, you will be able to find "CUTDETAILx" name into the property DisplayName, as Mike's post suggests, while the Name property contains a GUID.
