Insert Sweep Cut Feature Example (C#)

This example shows how to create a swept-ut feature and get its properties.

//----------------------------------------------------------------
// Preconditions:
// 1. Verify that the part to open exists.
// 2. Open an Immediate window.
//
// Postconditions:
// 1. Creates Cut-Sweep1.
// 2. Inspect the FeatureManager design tree, graphics area,
//    and Immediate window.
//
// NOTE: Because this part document is used elsewhere,
// do not save changes.
