Edit Visio custom shape data from Powershell

How can I edit Visio custom shape data from a Powershell script?

I have figured out how to open the document and how to loop the objects in a sheet, but how do I access the the shape data?

$Visio = New-Object -ComObject Visio.Application
$Doc=$Visio.Documents.Open('c:\TestVisio.vsdx')
$Page=$Doc.Pages('TestPage')
....

Sorry, I forgot about this post. I googled for it, here is a small snippet to get you started:

$doc is your Visio file, $TabName is the name of the tab you are using.

    $page=$doc.Pages("$TabName")
    $ObjectName='Box1'

    # Find Visio object
    foreach($shape in $page.Shapes)
    {
        if($shape.CellExists("Prop.Row_1.Value", 0))
        {
            IF ($shape.Cells("Prop.Row_1.Value").FormulaU -eq "`"$ObjectName`"")
            {
                $NewShape = $shape
                $ShapeFound = 1
                break
            }
        }
    }
