Get Editing Status of Features Example (C#)

This example shows how to get the editing status of one or more features.

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

// Preconditions:

// 1. Open:

// <SolidWorks_install_dir>\samples\tutorial\introtosw\pressure_plate.sldprt

// 2. Insert a breakpoint in your macro at this line:

//  retVal = swModelDocExt.SelectByID2("Sketch2", "SKETCH", 0, 0, 0, False, 0,

//  Nothing, 0)

// 3. Run the macro (F5) and then step into the code using

//    the debugger (F8) after execution stops at the breakpoint.

// 4. Examine the results displayed in the Immediate window and

//    FeatureManager design tree while stepping through the

//    remaining code.

// 5. Click the Run button just prior to executing this line:

//    End Sub

//

// Postconditions: None

//

// NOTE: Because this document is used by a SolidWorks

//       online tutorial, do not save any changes when

//       closing the document.
