Change Texture on Face in Specified Configuration Example (VBA)

This example shows how to change the texture on the selected face in the specified configuration

 

'--------------------------------------------------

'

' Preconditions:

'       (1) Part or assembly is open.

'       (2) Specified configuration exists.

'       (3) Face is selected.

'

' Postconditions: Texture is applied to that face in that configuration.
