Get Projected Curve Feature Data Example (C#)

This example shows how to get data for a projected curve feature.

//--------------------------------------------------------------
// Preconditions:
// 1. Verify that the part document exists.
// 2. Open the Immediate window.
//
// Postconditions:
// 1. Opens the specified part document.
// 2. Selects a face and sketches a spline on that face.
// 3. Selects the sketch of the spline and a face.
// 4. Inserts a projected curve feature.
// 5. Gets some projected curve feature data and prints it
//    to the Immediate window.
// 6. Examine the Immediate window, FeatureManager design tree, and
//    the graphics area.
//
// NOTE: Because the part is used elsewhere, do not save changes.
