Set Table Anchors in Sheet Formats Example (C#)

This example shows how to set a hole table anchor in a sheet format of a drawing.

//--------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Preconditions:
// 1. Verify that the specified drawing to open exists.
// 2. Open and Immediate window.
//
// Postconditions:
// 1. Opens the drawing.
// 2. At Stop, examine the position of the hole table in the drawing.
// 3. Press F5.
// 4. Edits the sheet format.
// 5. Creates a point.
// 6. Sets the position of the hole table's anchor at the new point.
// 7. Examine the new position of the hole table
//    and the Immediate window.
//
// NOTE: If prompted, do not save changes when closing the drawing.
