Fire Undo and Redo Pre- and Post-notifications in Assembly Document (C#)

This example shows how to fire Undo and Redo post-notifications in an assembly document.

//----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Preconditions: Open public_documents\tutorial\smartcomponents\stepped_shaft.sldasm.
//
// 1. Selects  and hides the base-plate<1> component and
//    fires pre- and post-notifications indicating that an
//    Undo has occurred.
// 2. Performs a Redo and fires pre- and post-notifications.
// 3. Performs another Undo and fires pre- and post-notifications
//    so that the assembly document returns to its just-opened state.
// 4. Click OK to close each message box.
//
// NOTE: Because the assembly is used elsewhere, do not save changes.
