Insert Swept-cut Thin-walled Feature Example (VBA)

This example shows how to create a swept-cut thin-walled feature.

'---------------------------------------------------------------
' Preconditions: Verify that the specified part exists.
'
' Postconditions:
' 1. Creates a thin-walled swept-cut feature.
' 2. Examine the FeatureManager design tree and graphics area.
