Insert BOM Table and BOM Balloon Example (C#)

This example shows how to insert a BOM table and a BOM balloon in a drawing document.

//------------------------------------------------
// Preconditions: 
// 1. Open public_documents\samples\tutorial\advdrawings\foodprocessor.slddrw.
// 2. Open the Immediate window.
//
// Postconditions:
// 1. Inserts a parts-only BOM table.
// 2. Inserts a split-circle BOM balloon, which uses the BOM
//    table item number for its upper text, 
//    to the selected edge. 
// 3. Zoom to area and examine both the BOM table and BOM 
//    balloon to verify.
//
// NOTE: Because this drawing document is used elsewhere,
// do not save any changes.
