Rename Component and Update References Example (C#)

This example shows how to rename a component and update its references.

//----------------------------------------------------------------------
// Preconditions:
// 1. Copy public_documents\samples\tutorial\EDraw\claw to c:\test\claw.
// 2. Open c:\test\claw\claw-mechanism.sldasm and save the file as 
//    claw-mechanism-copy.sldasm.
// 3. Close claw-mechanism-copy.sldasm and reopen claw-mechanism.sldasm.
// 4. Open the Immediate window.
//
// Postconditions:
// 1. Renames the center component to centerXXX.
// 2. Fires the RenameItemNotify event.
// 3. Saves the assembly.
// 4. Fires the RenamedDocumentNotify event.
// 5. Updates references.
// 6. Examine the FeatureManager design tree and Immediate window.
// 7. Close claw-mechanism.sldasm and open
//    c:\test\claw\claw-mechanism-copy.sldasm to verify that the
//    center component was renamed to centerXXX.
