Create Standard Mates Example (C#)

This example shows how to create a variety of standard mates.

//---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
// Preconditions: Ensure the specified file paths exist.
// 
// Postconditions: Inspect the Mates folder in the FeatureManager design tree.
//
// NOTE: Because the models are used elsewhere, do not save changes.
