I want to add configuration-specific Cut-List item properties, so they would appear like this:
By default, accessing ICustomPropertyManager from Feature won't allow me to specify configuration name:
Code: Select all
Set swCustPropMgr = selectedFeature.CustomPropertyManager(activeConfig.Name)
swCustPropMgr.Add3 "SW-Part Number", swCustomInfoText, number, swCustomPropertyReplaceValue
The above doesn't work - ICustomPropertyManager doesn't support specifying configuration name as a parameter when accessed from IFeature, like it would when accessing it from IModelDocExtension (
link to docs)
So instead I tried to access ICustomPropertyManager from config cut list items:
Code: Select all
vcutlistItems = activeConfig.GetCutListItems()
For Each vcutlistItem In vcutlistItems
Set swCustPropMgr = selectedItem.CustomPropertyManager()
swCustPropMgr.Add3 "SW-Part Number", swCustomInfoText, number, swCustomPropertyReplaceValue
Next
Documentation is a bit obscure here, it feels like this is a weird corner of SW API.
ICutListItem only has a single public member, CustomPropertyManager, so I assume the only intended reason for getting instance of CustomPropertyManager this way is to do exactly what I'm trying to do - but it doesn't work with the above code sample, property is still written as "All configs".
So what is the correct way to create a configuration-specific cut-list property via API?

Thanks for confirming that the bug is gone!
