Create and Modify Move Face Feature Example (C#)

This example shows how to create a Move Face feature by translating a face on a part and then how to modify that Move Face feature.

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

// Preconditions:

// 1. The specified SolidWorks document exists

//    on your system.

// 2. Set a break point at the OpenDoc6 statement.

// 3. Step through (press F8) the macro.

//

// Postconditions: A Move Face feature is created and then

// modified.

//

// NOTE: Because the specified SolidWorks document is used by

//       a SolidWorks online tutorial, do not save any changes

//       when closing the document.
