Get Vertex Chamfer Distances Example (VBA)

This example shows how to get the distances associated with the selected vertex chamfer.

 

'-----------------------------------------------

'

' Preconditions:

'           (1) Part document is open.

'           (2) Vertex chamfer is selected.

'

' Postconditions: None

'

' ChamferFeatureData2::Type

'   1 = Angle-Distance

'   2 = Distance-Distance

'   3 = Vertex
