This example shows how to dissolve and restore a subassembly in a BOM table.
'-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
' Preconditions:
' 1. Open install_dir\samples\tutorial\assemblyvisualize\food_processor.sldasm.
' 2. Select File > Make Drawing from
Assembly.
' 3. Click OK.
' 4. Drag and drop one or more views onto the drawing.
' 5. Ensure that the specified template exists.
'
' Postconditions:
' 1. An indented BOM table is inserted in the drawing.
' 2. The blade shaft subassembly is dissolved.
' 3. After the macro stops, click F5 to restore
the blade shaft subassembly.
