Create Hidden Undo Object Example (C#)

This example shows how to create an Undo object that is hidden in the SOLIDWORKS Undo list.

//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Preconditions: Ensure the part template path exists.
//
// Postconditions:
// 1. A part with four sketches is created.
// 2. One sketch is extruded.
// 3. A hidden Undo object, API Undo, is created with two extrusions.
// 4. One sketch is cut extruded.
// 5. The following items appear in the SOLIDWORKS Undo list in this order:
//    a. Extruded Cut
//    b. (API Undo, hidden from view)
//    c. Base
//
// NOTE: If you select Base in the SOLIDWORKS Undo list:
// 1. The base boss created before the recording of the hidden API Undo object is undone.
// 2. The two bosses created during the recording of the hidden API Undo object are undone.
// 3. The cut extrusion created after the recording of the hidden API Undo object is undone.
