Activate Smart Feature in an Assembly Example (C#)

This example shows how to activate a Smart Feature in an assembly.

//----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Preconditions:
// 1. Open:
//    install_dir\samples\tutorial\api\testSmartAssembly.sldasm.
// 2. Ensure the namespace matches the name of your C# project.
//
// Postconditions:
// 1. Smart Feature holeCube-1 is activated and two extruded cuts are created
//    using the selected reference entity.
// 2. Smart Feature holeCube-1 appears in the FeatureManager design tree.
// 3. Smart-Feature1 is created in component testPart1-1.
// 4. A Features folder containing Cut-Extrude1 and Cut-Extrude2 appears in the
//    FeatureManager design tree under Smart Feature holeCube-1.
//
// NOTE: Because the model is used elsewhere,
// do not save changes when closing it.
