Insert BOM Table and Extract Data Example (C#)
This example shows how to insert a BOM table and extract data
from it.
//-------------------------------------------------------
// Preconditions:
// 1. Verify that the specified drawing document to open
// exists.
// 2. Open the Immediate window.
//
// Postconditions:
// 1. Opens the specified drawing document.
// 2. Selects a drawing view.
// 3. Inserts a BOM table at the point where the drawing
// was selected.
// 4. Examine the drawing and Immediate window.
//
// NOTE: Because the drawing is used elsewhere, do not
// save changes.
