Run Interference Detection Example (C#)

This example shows how to run interference detection on an assembly.

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

// Preconditions:

// 1. Open install_dir\samples\tutorial\advdrawings\bowl and chute.sldasm.

// 2. Open an Immediate window.

//

// Postconditions: Inspect the Immediate window for interference information.

//

// NOTE: Because the assembly is used elsewhere, do not save changes to it.
