Get Points of Repeating Elements in Table-driven Pattern (C#)
This example shows that the points that describe the locations of the
repeating elements in a table-driven pattern are based on the table-driven pattern's
coordinate system.
//---------------------------------------------
// Preconditions:
// 1. Specified file exists.
// 2. Open the Immediate window.
//
// Postconditions: The coordinates of the
// points for the two repeating elements in the
// table-driven pattern appear in the Immediate
// window.
