This example shows how to create a connection point for a tube for routing.

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

// Preconditions:

// 1. SolidWorks Routing Add-in is loaded (Tools > Add-Ins > SolidWorks Routing).

// 2. Specified document exists and is opened.

//

// Postconditions: Connection point for a tube is created

// using the selected edge.

//

// NOTE: Because this part document is used in a online

// tutorial, do save any changes when closing the

// document.
