Get and Set Parting Surface Feature Data Example (C#)

This example shows how to get and set parting surface feature data.

//----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Preconditions:
// 1. Open a model document that contains a parting surface feature.
// 2. Select the parting surface feature in the FeatureManager design tree.
// 3. Open the Immediate window.
//
// Postconditions:
// 1. Gets and sets parting surface feature data.
// 2. Examine the Immediate window.
