Select Multiple Sketch Segments for Sweep Path Example (C#)

This example shows how to select multiple sketch segments for the path for a sweep feature.

//--------------------------------------------------------
// Preconditions: Verify that the part template exists.
//
// Postconditions:
// 1. Opens a new part.
// 2. Creates:
//    * sketch of a circle.
//    * sketch of a line.
//    * another sketch of a line.
// 3. Selects the sketch of the circle for the sweep profile.
// 4. Selects the sketches of the lines for the sweep path
//    and groups them as an object.
// 5. Creates a sweep feature.
// 6. Examine the FeatureManager design tree and graphics
//    area.
