Insert and Show BOM Table in Assembly Example (C#)
This example shows how to insert and show a BOM table in an assembly
document.
//------------------------------------------------
// Preconditions:
// 1. Verify that the specified file to open and template exist.
// 2. Open the Immediate window.
//
// Postconditions:
// 1. Inserts an indented BOM table.
// 2. Inserts a split-circle stacked balloon, which uses the
// BOM table item number for its upper text,
// at the selected face.
// 3. Examine the BOM table, stacked balloon, and Immediate
// window.
//
// NOTE: Because this assembly document is used elsewhere,
// do not save changes.
