Isolate Component Example (C#)
This example shows how to isolate a component and save the characteristics
of the new display state.
//----------------------------------------------------------
// Preconditions: Verify that the assembly exists.
//
// Postconditions:
// 1. Opens the assembly.
// 2. Selects a component.
// 3. Isolates the selected component and changes the
// display of all of the other components to wireframe.
// 4. Saves the display characteristics to a new display
// state.
// 5. Exits isolate.
// 6. Click the ConfigurationManager tab and double-click
// Test_Display_State.
//
// NOTE: Because the assembly is used elsewhere, do not
// save changes.
