This example shows how to set the active display state of a referenced component.

//--------------------------------------------------------
// Preconditions:
// 1. Open public_documents\samples\tutorial\driveworksxpress\mobile gantry.sldasm.
// 2. Open the Immediate window.
//
// Postconditions:
// 1. Selects leg<1>.
// 2. Gets the selected referenced component's active display state.
// 3. Sets the selected referenced component's active display state.
// 4. Examine the Immediate window, FeatureManager design tree,
//    and graphics area.
//
// NOTE: Because the assembly is used elsewhere, do not
// save changes.
