Select All in Part, Assembly, or Drawing (C#)
This example shows how to select everything in the graphics area of a part or
assembly document or in the sheet of a drawing document, as if you box-selected everything in the graphics area or
the sheet.
//
******************************************************************************
// Preconditions:
// 1. Part, assembly, and drawing documents opened by the macro
// exist.
// 2. Open the Immediate window.
//
// Postconditions:
// 1. Examine:
// * Sheet to verify that all of the entities in the drawing
// are selected.
// * Immediate window to see how many entities are selected.
// 2. Click Window > bolt-assembly.sldasm to switch to the assembly
// document.
// 3. Examine:
// * Graphics area to verify that the all of the components
// in the assembly are selected.
// * Immediate window to see how many components are selected.
// 4. Click Window > bolt.sldprt to switch to the part document.
// 5. Examine:
// * Graphics area to verify that the all of the edges
// in the part are selected.
// * Immediate window to see how many edges are selected.
//
// NOTE: Because these documents are used elsewhere, do not save any
// changes when closing them.
