This example shows how to get and set the table anchor of a hole table in a drawing.


//-----------------------------------------------------------------
// Preconditions: This file exists:
// C:\Program Files\SOLIDWORKS Corp\SOLIDWORKS\samples\tutorial\api\SimpleHole.slddrw.
//
// Postconditions:
// 1. At
System.Diagnostics.Debugger.Break(), examine the position
//    
of the hole table in the drawing.
// 2. Click the Continue button in the SOLIDWORKS Visual Studio Tools for
//    Applications IDE.
// 3. The position of the hole table's anchor is set
//    to the specified location. Examine the hole table
//    in the drawing to verify.
//
// NOTE: If prompted, do not save any changes when closing
// the drawing document.
