Traverse Features By Reverse Position Example (C#)

This example shows how to traverse backwards through the list of features in the FeatureManager design tree. Features are obtained by their position using IModelDoc2::FeatureByPositionReverse.

//-------------------------------------
// Preconditions: 
// 1. A part document is open in SOLIDWORKS.
// 2. Open the Immediate window.
// 3. Run the macro.
//
// Postconditions: Examine the Immediate window for 
// the position and names of the features in 
// the FeatureManager design tree in reverse 
// chronological order.
