Process Body Example (C#)

This example shows how create to a new part with an imported body from the processed body of the original part.

//------------------------------------------------
// Preconditions:
// 1. Verify that the specified part document template
//    exists.
// 2. Open a part containing only one solid body.
// 3. Open the Immediate window.
// 4. Run the macro.
//
// Postconditions:
// 1. Creates a new part with an imported body
//    from the processed body of the original part.
// 2. Examine the Immediate window.
//
// NOTE: Differences are best seen in wireframe and with parts
// that contain curved, circular, or both types of faces.
