Get Pattern Display Dimension Example (C#)

This example shows how to get the display dimensions for various pattern properties of a linear pattern.

//----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Preconditions:
// 1. Open a part with a linear pattern.
// 2. Select the linear pattern feature.
// 3. Open an Immediate window.
//
// Postconditions: Inspect the Immediate window.
