Mirror Sheet-metal Part Example (C#)

This example shows how to mirror a sheet-metal part.

//---------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Preconditions:
// 1. Verify that the sheet-metal part to open exists.
// 2. Open the Immediate window.
//
// Postconditions:
// 1. Opens the specified sheet-metal part.
// 2. Creates a reference plane about which to mirror the
//    sheet-metal part.
// 3. Creates a new part document containing the mirrored
//    sheet-metal part, which includes the sheet-metal
//    information in the mirrored part.
// 4. Examine the graphics area and the Immediate window.
//
// NOTE: Because this part document is used elsewhere,
// do not save changes.
