How to set ActiveAnnotationsStandard

[CadUser46]

I have an opportunity to update some files and was going to set the Active Standard for the new to us 3D annotation.

Am i using the right syntax here or is the object not exposed to the API?  I notice intellisense does not suggest this when typing.

    Dim oApp As Application: Set oApp = ThisApplication
    Dim oDoc As PartDocument: Set oDoc = oApp.ActiveDocument
    Set oDoc.ActiveAnnotationsStandard = "ISO"

this works for me:

Dim oApp As Application
Set oApp = ThisApplication
    
Dim oDoc As PartDocument:
Set oDoc = oApp.ActiveDocument
        
oDoc.ActiveAnnotationsStandard = "ISO"

But how do you know there is a property ActiveAnnotationsStandard ?
There is no single mention of it programming help section

It took me a minute to remind myself but i guess i was browsing the Locals window in VBA.

In the VBA IDE, put a break point somewhere, then browse down from oDoc.
