This example shows how to get cut-list items and their custom properties and how to add, modify, and delete a cut-list custom property.

//--------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Preconditions:
// 1. Read the SOLIDWORKS Document Manager API Getting Started topic
//    and ensure that the required DLLs have been registered.
// 2. Copy and paste this class into a C# console application in

//    
Microsoft Visual Studio.
// 3. Ensure that the specified part exists or point to another
//    document that contains a cut list with custom properties).
// 4. Add the SolidWorks.Interop.swdocumentmgr.dll reference to
//    the project:
//    a. Right-click the solution in Solution Explorer.

//    c. Click Browse.
//    d. Click install_dir\api\redist\CLR2\SolidWorks.Interop.swdocumentmgr.dll.
//    e. Click Add.
//    f. Click Close.
// 5. Substitute your_license_code with your SOLIDWORKS
//    Document Manager license code.
// 6. Compile and run this program in Debug mode.
//
// Postconditions: Inspect the Output Window and the code to see how
