Create and Edit Profile Center Mate Example (C#)

This example shows how to create and edit a profile center mate.

//----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Preconditions:
// 1. Open:
//    public_documents\samples\tutorial\api\AdvancedMates\AdvancedMateDemo2.sldasm
// 2. Open an Immediate window.
//
// Postconditions:
// 1. Creates a profile center mate.
// 2. Press F5 to continue.
// 3. Changes the mate alignment of the mate.
// 4. Inspect the Immediate window and graphics area.
//
// NOTE: Because the model is used elsewhere, do not save changes.
