Get material specific custom property from the Custom tab

SOLIDWORKS
1

This is going to be an interesting one! I’m trying to get a material-specific property (You find these properties in the custom tab when you edit the material) and use that either in a custom property or an equation (Global variable)

I noticed that there is an SPR for it SPR 969590.

I’m wondering if SOLIDWORKS supports this before writing an add-in that loads up the material property as a global variable when doc is open, rebuilt and closed.

Here is one from Artem Macro to copy SOLIDWORKS custom property from material to model

I'm looking for a way to do this without programming. Imagine a special forumla like customProp@@sw-material@@part1.sldprt. I already know to get and set the prop in VBA.

Haven't found a solution to this issue? I would really like to be able to use custom material attributes. Especially without programming (like "SW-Mass" etc.)
