Create Corner Relief Feature Example (C#)

This example shows how to create a corner relief feature.

//----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Preconditions:
// Open install_dir\samples\tutorial\sheetmetal\formtools\cover.sldprt.
//
// Postconditions:
// 1. The model is rotated to the back view.
// 2. An edge flange is created.
// 3. The model is rotated slightly about the x-axis.
// 4. A corner relief feature is created:
//    * A rectangular corner relief is added to one corner of the edge flange.
//    * An obround corner relief is added to another corner of the edge flange.
