Recognize Custom Content Center Part

[mbrandwijk]

I am looking for a way to recognize a custom content Center part inside Inventor. The way I see it, I would like to fill a custom property with a value so I can set a seperate category inside Vault Pro for a custom Content Center part.

What I found is the following:

CustomContentCenter variabele: ContentCenter{844FDDD7-2E90-4E4C-8868-134CEAEDC078}
    IsCustomPart    1

Is there any way that I can get this information inside an Custom Property??

From Inventor 2011 onward, API provided a direct flag to indicate if the part is Standard or Custom: 

PartComponentDefinition.IsContentMember

Dim oPart As PartDocument
oPart = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument
Dim oPartCompDef As PartComponentDefinition
oPartCompDef = oPart.ComponentDefinition
    If oPartCompDef.IsContentMember Then
        iProperties.Value("Custom", "IsCustomPart") = "Yes"
    End If

A follow-up question:  Is the IsContentmember property read-only?

I once had someone create a new part in a content center file after erasing all the original part geometry.  Essentially, they used the content center part as a template file.
