Quickly open assembly without loading any parts to grab iproperties

Hi,

 

I am trying to grab descriptions of parts and assemblies we have in our library and write these to an xml file. I am currently doing that by opening each file (using silent operation, screen updating false, etc.) then grabbing the description in this case and closing the file. It is working quickly for .ipts but takes too much time when going through thousands of .iams. Is there a faster way to grab iproperties? Can I open just the .iam and not load any parts to speed this up?

 

I am currently using inventor VBA, I know apprentice would speed it up a little but I am looking for something that will take a fraction of the time.

 

Thanks.
