Get and Set Connection Point Feature Data Example (VBA)

This example shows how to get and set data for connection point features.

'----------------------------------------------------------------------------
' Preconditions:
' 1. Ensure that the latest SolidWorks Design Library is loaded.
' 2. Drag and drop design library > routing > electrical > db9 male.sldprt
'    into the main view.
' 3. Run (F5) this macro.

' Postconditions:
'  1. Inspect the Immediate Window.
'  2. Inspect CPoint1 in the FeatureManager design tree.
'
' NOTE:  Because this is a Design Library part, close it without saving changes.
