API: Document Manager Help

Feb 21, 2007 2 Replies

Has anyone else found the Document Manager help to be less than finished?



Has anyone else found the removal of many of the obsoleted config and custom property API calls from help to be a major aggravation and a departure from SW previous practice of documenting obsolete API calls?

My brief foray into macros led me to believe that plenty of non-obsolete API calls were not documented. Perhaps things have changed for the better.

And then I see this in the help:

This method gets the specified custom property value for this document. NOTE: This property only supports documents saved in SolidWorks 2005 and later.

Now if you are using any kind of PDM like say for instance PDMWorks where you will have a hard time doing conversion of files from year to year this kind of backwards compatibility might just make you think twice about upgrading.
