Flip Sketch Picture Example (C#)

This example shows how to flip a sketch picture.

//----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Preconditions:
// 1. Verify that the specified document template exists.
// 2. Copy an image file (i.e., .bmp, .gif, .jpg, .jpeg, .tif, .wmf) to
//    c:\temp.
// 3. Replace image_file in the ISketchManager::InsertSketchPicture parameter
//    with the name of the copied file.
// 4. Open an Immediate window.
//
// Postconditions:
// 1. Creates a new model document.
// 2. Creates Sketch1 and Sketch Picture1 in the graphics area and the
//    FeatureManager design tree.
// 3. Selects Sketch Picture1 and flips it top to bottom.
// 4. Inspect the Immediate window.
