Move Bodies Example (C#)

This example shows how to move all of the bodies in a part document.

//-------------------------------------------------------------
// Preconditions:
// 1. Specified part document to open exists.
// 2. Run the macro.
//
// Postconditions: All of the bodies in the part document
// are moved to the specified location.
//
// NOTE: Because this part is used elsewhere, do not save
// any changes when closing it.
