Hello @Anonymous

You could start with a VBA macro like this:

Public Sub GetUserParameters()
    If ThisApplication.ActiveDocumentType <> kAssemblyDocumentObject Then Exit Sub
    
    Dim myAssy As Inventor.AssemblyDocument
    Set myAssy = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument
    
    Dim myDoc As Inventor.Document
    For Each myDoc In myAssy.AllReferencedDocuments
        If myDoc.DocumentType = kPartDocumentObject Then
            Dim myPart As Inventor.PartDocument
            Set myPart = myDoc
            
            Dim myUP As Inventor.UserParameter
            For Each myUP In myPart.ComponentDefinition.Parameters.UserParameters
                Debug.Print "User Parameter " & myUP.Name & " is type " & TypeName(myUP.Value) & " with value " & CStr(myUP.Value)
            Next myUP
        End If
    Next myDoc
End Sub

It just dumps to the VBA immediate view all userparameters in all parts in the active assembly.
