Get Mirror Pattern Feature Data Example (C#)
This example shows how to get data for a mirror pattern feature.
//--------------------------------------------------------------------
// Postconditions:
// 1. Verify that the specified part document to open exists.
// 2. Open the Immediate window.
//
// Postconditions:
// 1. Opens the specified part document.
// 2. Creates Boss-Extrude2.
// 3. Mirrors Boss-Extrude2 to create LPattern1.
// 4. Mirrors Boss-Extrude1 and LPattern1 to create Mirror1.
// 5. Gets the patterned features of Mirror1.
// 6. Examine the FeatureManager design tree, the graphics area, and
// the Immediate window.
//
// NOTE: Because the part is used elsewhere, do not save changes.
