Insert and Access Fold Feature Example (C#)
This example shows how to insert and access a fold feature.
//---------------------------------------------------------------
// Postconditions:
// 1. Verify that the specified sheet metal part document exists.
// 2. Open the Immediate window.
//
// Postconditions:
// 1. Opens the specified sheet metal part document.
// 2. Creates an unfold feature.
// 3. Creates a fold feature.
// 4. Prints to the Immediate window some fold feature data.
// 5. Examine the FeatureManager design tree and the Immediate window.
//
// NOTE: Because this part is used elsewhere, do not save changes.
