Get/set custom drawing properties via vba 1

[RussellGant]

Hi,

Does anyone know if it is possible to programatically access the custom properties of a drawing within AutoCAD Map 6 using VBA code?

I'd like to be able to get and set a value in custom properties that I can use as a key in a database.

Thanks,
Russell Gant.

Map 6 = acad 2002? I do believe. The Drawing Properties are in a dictionary named 'DWGPROPS'. For 2004 there is a new object called 'SummaryInfo' that contains the information. I don't have access to acad at the moment but that should get you started.
