Modify Break Corner Feature Example (C#)

This example shows how to create and modify a break corner feature in a sheet metal part.

//---------------------------------------------------
// Preconditions:
// 1. Verify that the specified part document exists.
// 2. Open the Immediate window.
//
// Postconditions:
// 1. Opens the specified document.
// 2. Selects a face on Edge-Flange1.
// 3. Creates a break corner feature.
// 4. Unsuppresses the flat pattern feature.
// 5. Accesses the break corner feature and
//    and modifies it.
// 6. Suppresses the flat pattern feature.
// 7. Examine the graphics area and the Immediate window.
//
// NOTE: Because the part document is used elsewhere,
// do not save any changes.
