Move Assembly Components to New Folder Example (C#)
This example shows how to move selected assembly components to a newly
created folder in the FeatureManager design tree.
//-------------------------------------------------------
// Preconditions: Specified assembly document to open
exists.
//
// Postconditions:
// 1. Assembly document is opened.
// 2. The valve<1> and valve_guide<1> components
are selected.
// 3. Folder named Folder1 is created in the FeatureManager
design tree.
// 4. The valve<1> and valve_guide<1> components
are moved to Folder1,
// which
you can verify by expanding the Folder1 folder.
//
// NOTE: Because the assembly document is used by an online
// SolidWorks tutorial, do not save any changes when
// closing the document.
