Get Hole Series Information Example (VBA)

This example shows how to get information about a hole series.

'---------------------------------------------------------------------------
' Preconditions:
' 1. Open an assembly that contains a hole series feature.
' 2. Configure holes and fasteners in the SOLIDWORKS Toolbox.
'
' Postconditions: Inspect the Immediate window.
