Intellicad API include directories and macros

Hi all, when you open an IRX (or icrx) sample program in visual studio and look at the solution properties, you can see that there is a bunch of intellicad related filepath macros and default paths loaded into the program. For example, looking at the VC++ include directories there are quite a few 'inherited' paths and macros, I have attached an image of what I'm talking about.
My question is, how do I import or inherit these default paths and macros into a new solution? I am certain I can do this without entering all of these manually, these paths must be stored somewhere?

Hi,
Please refer to the *.props files included in the sample solution.
For example: IntelliCAD.IcArx.Samples.props in icarx folder.

Thankyou for the response, it isn't a total setup for the API but it definitely helps to use this props file. I have worked on IntelliCAD quite a bit before with a company, but I never had to set up the environment from scratch, so this is all new to me.
