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

    *  Composite surface profile geometric tolerance

    *  Tangency geometric tolerance

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

// 1. Open:

// <SolidWorks_install_dir>\samples\tutorial\cosmosxpress\aw_anchor_plate.sldprt

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

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

// 3. Create a composite surface profile tolerance:

//    f. Click a side face of the part.

//    g. Click outside the part to place Datum C.

//    h. Click Geometric Tolerance on the DimXpert tool bar.

//       In the Geometric Tolerance Properties dialog:

//           i.    Select Surface Profile from the Symbol dropdown list.

//           ii.   Type A in the Primary box, B in the

//                 Secondary box, and C in the Tertiary box.
