Translate Move Face Feature Example (C#)

 This example shows how to translate a Move Face feature.

//---------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Preconditions: 
// 1. Verify that the specified document to open exists.
// 2. Open the Immediate window.
//
// Postconditions: 
// 1. Creates Move Face1 in the FeatureManager design tree.
// 2. Modifies the translation parameters of Move Face1.
// 3. Gets the type of end condition and offset distance of Move Face1.
// 4. Examine the Immediate window. 
//
// NOTE: Because the model document is used elsewhere,
// do not save changes.
