This example shows how to create a callout in a model view.

//----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Preconditions:  
// 1. Open a part document.
// 2. Select:
//    Project > Add Reference > .NET > SolidWorks.Interop.swpublished
//
// Postconditions:
// 1. A callout with one row is created in the first model view.
// 2. Press F5 three more times to add a callout to three other model views.

// NOTE: Because the model is used elsewhere,
// do not save changes when closing it.
