Fire Notifications When Renaming Part Document Belonging to Assembly Example (C#)

This example shows how to fire notifications when you:

  • are about to rename a part document belonging to an assembly.
  • rename the part document.
//----------------------------------------------------------------------
// Preconditions:
// 1. Open install_dir\samples\tutorial\EDraw\claw\center.sldprt.
// 2. Open the Immediate window.
//
// Postconditions:
// 1. Renames center to centerXXX.
// 2. Fires the PreRenameItemNotify and RenameItemNotify events.
// 3. Examine the FeatureManager design tree and Immediate window.
//
// NOTE: Because the part is used elsewhere, do not save changes.
