Get Solid-fill Hatch Information Example (C#)

This example shows how to get information about solid-fill hatches in a detail view in the current drawing sheet.

//-------------------------------------------------------------------------

// Preconditions:

// (1) Open a SolidWorks drawing that has a

//     solid-fill hatch in a detail view.

// (2) Run the macro and examine the Immediate window

//     and drawing document to verify the results.

//

// Postconditions: None
