Copy Components With Mates to Assembly Example (C#)

This example shows how to copy components with mates in an assembly.

//--------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Preconditions:
// 1. Open install_dir\samples\tutorial\driveworksxpress\mobile gantry.SLDASM.
// 2. Inspect Leg<1> and Leg<2> in the assembly.
//
// Postconditions:
// 1. Replaces Leg<1> with a copy of Leg<2>.
// 2. Inspect Leg<2> and leg<3> in the assembly.
//
// NOTE: Because this assembly is used elsewhere, do not save any changes.
//---------------------------------------------------------------------------
