Fully Define Under Defined Sketch Example (C#)

This example shows how to fully define an under defined sketch.

//---------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Preconditions: Open a part document containing an under defined sketch.
//
// Postconditions:
// 1. Fully defines the under defined sketch.
// 2. Open the sketch to verify.
