Set Visible Bounding Box for Zoom to Fit Example (C#)

This example shows how to set the visible bounding box for Zoom to Fit.

//--------------------------------------------------------
// Preconditions:
// 1. Verify that the specified assembly document to open
//    exists.
// 2. Open the Immediate window.
//
// Postconditions:
// 1. Opens the specified assembly document and zooms to fit the
//    the assembly in the graphics area.
// 2. When Done! is printed to the Immediate window,
//    click Zoom to Fit arm2 at the top of the
//    FeatureManager design tree.
// 3. Examine the graphics area and observe the new bounding box.
//
// NOTE: Because the assembly is used elsewhere, do not save
// changes.
