Cut Body and Keep All Bodies Example (C#)

This example shows how to cut a body and keep all bodies.

//----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Preconditions:
//  1. Verify that the specified part document template exists.
//  2. Open the Immediate window.
//
// Postconditions:
// 1. Opens a new part document.
// 2. Creates a body.
// 3. Splits the body into two bodies.
// 4. Examine the graphics area and Immediate window.
