Create Equation-driven Curve (C#)

This example shows how to create and modify an equation-driven curve.

//---------------------------------------------------------------

// Preconditions:  Part document is open in SolidWorks

//

// Postconditions:

// 1. A 2D sketch is created, and an equation spline of a

//    sine curve is created.  

// 2. After the break point, the curve is edited

//    and a cosine curve is created.

//----------------------------------------------------------------
