Kevin,
That explains why I can't find any information in API. I wonder if it
is a stand alone application outside of SolidWorks. Thanks for the
response.

Chris - sorry but I am 95% sure there is no access through the API. I
submitted this as an enhancement request that 1 you can't access the
tab and 2 there is no API for the CPT.

I just saw a press release from them that their product integrates
with SW 2010.

Software is called KBMax. (cool name and cool looking site)

Anyone know someone who watched the demo?

I may sign up but am curious.

I have been setting up the Custom Property Tabs for my department.
As I get feedback from everyone, I have made modifications to them.
One of the things that changed was setting up all the properties to be
configuration specific. Easy to change that with the property tab
builder. Problem is that when you open the parts up, the custom

That's probably because your code contains errors. Try to debug it.

If your problem persists please send me an e-mail with your code. If
you speak portuguese, manda-me em português :)

I had tried that option...its there in Debug->Exceptions->Managed Debugging
Assistants in visual studio. But going ahead i got Context switch deadlock
error.
As you said, m also not getting it in deployment environment...but it makes
my life difficult to debug the code during development.
Anyway thanks Corey!

I have had problems with this before while debugging and never figured out exactly what was causing it. I have never had related problems in a deployment of the project though, and have deployed quite a few projects under contract for various companies. I have just pushed through the debugging. I believe there is a setting in VS to ignore this type of check while debugging, but I cannot remember what it was.

the sequence includes my own workflow (delete dangling dimensions &
scaling) ...for solidworks its just opening and closing drawing.

yes m using solidworks provided template and m using solidworks
interops.
error is present in both debug/release mode and comes on multiple
computers only when i run through Visual Studio.

If I deploy it on other machine where there is no visual studio
installed...addin works fine with solidworks. i don't get any error.

no...it happens when I am closing a drawing through solidworks API
using "CloseAllDocuments".

When I debugged, sequence was as follows -
1. Open Drawing
2. Delete all dangling dimensions
3. Scale the drawing
4. Close Drawing

While opening drawing, corresponding part also gets opened. So events
