Get Hole Standards Data Example (VBA)

This example shows how to retrieve hole standards data from the Hole Wizard database.

'----------------------------------------------------------------------------
' Preconditions:
' 1. Open SOLIDWORKS.
' 2. Open an Immediate window.
'
' Postconditions:
' 1. Retrieves row 1 data from all three Binding Head Screw fastener tables
'    of the ANSI Inch hole standard.
' 2. Inspect the Immediate window.
