Insert Hole Table Example (C#)

This example shows how to insert a hole table into a drawing.

//---------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Preconditions:
// 1. Ensure that the model and template exist.
// 2. Ensure that the namespace matches the name of your C# project.
//
// Postconditions: A hole table is inserted in a drawing of the model.
//
// NOTE: Because the model is used elsewhere,
// do not save changes when closing it.
