    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.
