Modify Move/Copy Body Using Vertex Example (C#)
This example shows how to modify a move/copy body feature using a vertex.
//---------------------------------------------------------------------
// Preconditions:
// 1. Verify that the specified part document exists.
// 2. Open the Immediate window.
//
// Postconditions:
// 1. Opens the specified part document.
// 2. Selects a solid body and two vertices.
// 3. Inserts a move/copy body feature and gets and sets some of its feature data.
// 4. Examine the FeatureManager design tree, the graphics area, and
// the Immediate window.
//
// NOTE: Because the part is used elsewhere, do not save changes.
