Insert and Show BOM Table and BOM Balloon Example (C#)

This example shows how to insert a Bill of Materials (BOM) table and balloon in a drawing document.

//----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Preconditions:
// 1. Specified file and template exist.
// 2. Open an Immediate Window.
//
// Postconditions:
// 1. Inserts an indented BOM table.
// 2. Inserts a BOM balloon annotation.
// 3. Inspect the Immediate Window for the BOM feature properties.
//
// NOTE: Because the drawing is used elsewhere, do not save any changes.
