Get DimXpert Intersect Features Example (C#)

This example builds a part to demonstrate usage of the SolidWorks Document Manager API for the following DimXpert features:

    *  Intersect Point

    *  Intersect Line

    *  Intersect Circle

    *  Intersect Plane

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

// 1. Open:

//  <SolidWorks_install_dir>\samples\tutorial\api\face_plate_ads_geo.sldprt

// 2. Open the DimXpert toolbar from View > Toolbars

//    (select the first instance of Toolbars on the View menu).

// 3. Create a DimXpert Intersect Point Feature:

//    a. Click the Location Dimension icon on the DimXpert toolbar.

//    b. Select the front face of the part.

//    c. Select the Create Intersection Point icon from the DimXpert pop-up menu.

//    d. Select a cylinder whose axis intersects the first face at a point.

//    e. Click the green check mark in the pop-up menu to create the

//       intersect point.

//    f. Select a feature on the part to dimension against the intersect point.

//    g. Click outside the part to position the dimension in the view.

//    h. Observe the new Dimxpert feature on the DimXpertManager tab:  

//       Intersect Point1

// 4. Create a DimXpert Intersect Line Feature:

//    a. Click the Location Dimension icon on the DimXpert toolbar.

//    b. Select the front face of the part.

//    c. Select the Create Intersection Line icon from the DimXpert pop-up menu.

//    d. Select a perpendicular plane that would intersect the first plane

//       if extended (e.g., a top or side face of the part)

//    e. Click the green check mark in the pop-up menu to create the

//       intersect line.

//    f. Select a feature on the part to dimension against the intersect line.

//    g. Click outside the part to position the dimension in the view.

//    h. Observe the new Dimxpert feature on the DimXpertManager tab:  

//       Intersect Line1

// 5. Create a DimXpert Intersect Circle Feature:

//    a. Click the Size Dimension icon on the DimXpert toolbar.

//    b. Select the front face of the part.

//    c. Select the Intersect Circle icon from the DimXpert pop-up menu.

//    d. Select the opening conical surface of a flat head machine screw

//       (LPattern1 or LPattern3) in the part.

//    e. Click the green check mark in the pop-up menu to finish the dimension.

//    f. Click outside the part to position the size dimension in the view.

//    g. Observe the new Dimxpert feature on the DimXpertManager tab:  

//       Intersect Circle1

// 6. Create a DimXpert Intersect Plane Feature:

//    a. Click the Location Dimension icon on the DimXpert toolbar.

//    b. Zoom in on a flat head machine screw (LPattern1 or LPattern3).

//    c. Select the opening conical surface of a flat head machine screw

//       in the part.

//    d. Select the Intersect Plane icon from the DimXpert pop-up menu.

//    e. Select the inner cylindrical bore face of the flat head machine screw.

//    f. Click the green check mark in the pop-up menu to create the

//       intersect plane.

//    g. Select the top face of one of the extruded entities.

//    h. Click outside the part to position the location dimension in the view.

//    i. Observe the new Dimxpert feature on the DimXpertManager tab:  

//          Intersect Plane1

// 7. Close the part, saving it to another name.

//     NOTE: Because this part is used in a SolidWorks online tutorial,

//           do not save any changes to the original file name.

// 8. Read how to load and run Code_Example_CSharp with this part.
