Suppress Component Feature Example (C#)

This example shows how to suppress the selected component feature.

//------------------------------------------------
// Preconditions:
// 1. Open an assembly document.
// 2. Select a component feature in the FeatureManager 
//    design tree.
// 3. Open the Immediate window.
//
// Postconditions:
// 1. Suppresses the selected component feature.
// 2. Prints the names of the assembly and the suppressed 
//    component feature to the Immediate window.
// 3. Examine the Immediate window.
//
// NOTE: Editing a component requires that geometry on
// the component to be selected. However, not
// all features are associated with geometry.
// Therefore, it is necessary to select the component
// before attempting to edit the component.
