Get Edge Curve Parameterization Example (C#)

This example shows how to get curve parameterization data for a selected edge.

 
//------------------------------------------------
// Preconditions:
// 1. Open a part or assembly.
// 2. If you opened an assembly, ensure that it is
//    fully resolved.
// 3. Select an edge.
// 4. Open an Immediate Window.
//
// Postconditions: Inspect the Immediate window.
