Get and Set Pattern Example (C#)

//--------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Preconditions:
// 1. Open:

// <SolidWorks_install_dir>\samples\tutorial\dimxpert\bracket_auto_manual.sldprt
// 2. Select one of the CBORE hole faces in the SolidWorks viewer.
// 3. Open an Immediate Window in the IDE.

// 4. Rename the namespace of this macro to match the name of your C# project.
// 5. Ensure that the latest SolidWorks DimXpert interop assembly is referenced:
//    a. Right-click on the project in Project Explorer.
//    b. Select Add Reference.
//    c. Click the Browse tab.
//    d. Find and select <SolidWorks_install_dir>\api\redist\CLR2\swdimxpert.dll.
// 6. Click F5.
//
// Postconditions:
// Inspect the Immediate Window and the DimXpertManager tab.
// NOTE: Because this part is used in a SolidWorks online tutorial,
// do not save any changes when you close it.
