Insert Explode Line Sketch and Jog Line Example (C#)

This example shows how to insert a jog line in an explode line sketch, a type of 3D sketch.

//--------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Preconditions: Open public_documents\tutorial\floxpress\ball valve\ball_valve.sldasm.
//
// Postconditions:
// 1. Creates an exploded view of the assembly.
// 2. Adds a jog line, which is a type of explode line.
// 3. Examine the graphics area.
// 4. Locate 3DExplode1, the explode line sketch, on the
//    ConfigurationManager tab (click the ConfigurationManager tab and
//    expand default and ExplView1.)
//
// NOTE: Because this assembly is used elsewhere, do not save changes.
