) 

Parameters

FieldName

Name of custom property

FieldType

Type of custom property as defined by SwDmCustomInfoType

FieldValue

Value for custom property

Return Value

This method also returns false if you attempt to add a custom property name that already exists.

If you call this method to add a linked custom property with an expression value, then you need to open and save the file in SOLIDWORKS before calling ISwDMDocument::GetCustomProperty, ISwDMDocument17::GetCustomProperty2, ISwDMDocument3::GetAllCustomPropertyNamesAndValues, or ISwDMDocument5::GetCustomPropertyValues. SOLIDWORKS needs to process the linked custom property before your DocumentMgr application attempts to get its evaluated value.
