Create Drawing Sheet Zones Example (C#)

This example shows how to create a drawing sheet with zones, modify the zones in the drawing sheet, and insert a revision table.

//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Preconditions:
// 1. Verify that the specified model document and templates exist.
// 2. Open an Immediate window.
//
// Postconditions:
// 1. Creates a new sheet named Test with four zones.
// 2. Inspect the graphics area.
// 3. Press F5.
// 4. Modifies Test to contain nine zones.
// 5. Creates Revision Table1.
// 6. Adds a revision row to the table.
// 7. Inspect the FeatureManager design tree, the graphics area, and the
//    Immediate window.
//
// NOTE: Because the model is used elsewhere, do not save changes to it.
