Create Table Pattern Example (C#)

This example shows how to create a table pattern feature.

// --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Preconditions:
// 1. Open public_documents\samples\tutorial\api\tablepattern.sldprt.
// 2. Delete TPattern1.
// 
// Postconditions:
// 1. Creates a new TPattern1.
// 2. Inspect the FeatureManager design tree and the graphics area.
//
// NOTE: Because the model is used elsewhere, do not save changes.
