Activate Smart Feature in an Assembly Example (VB.NET)

This example shows how to activate a Smart Feature in an assembly.

'----------------------------------------------------------------------------
' Preconditions: Open public_documents\tutorial\api\testSmartAssembly.sldasm.
'
' Postconditions:
' 1. Activates Smart Feature holecube-1 and creates two extruded cuts
'    for the selected reference entity.
' 2. Displays Smart Feature holecube-1 in the FeatureManager design tree.
' 3. Creates Smart-Feature1 in component testpart100.
' 4. Expand and examine testpart100 and holecube-1 in the FeatureManager
'    design tree.
'
' NOTE: Because the model is used elsewhere, do not save changes.
