Check Edges for Faults Example (VB.NET)

This example shows how to check the edges in a part for faults.

'----------------------------------------------------------------------------
' Preconditions:
' 1. Open a part document.
' 2. Open the Immediate window.
'
' Postconditions:
' 1. Checks the bodies and edges in the part.
' 2. Examine the Immediate window.
