New functionality

• Display the Dassault Systemes Physically Based Rendering (DSPBR) appearance visual style. See IDSPBRMaterial, IRenderMaterial::GetDSPBRMaterial, and IRenderMaterial::HasDSPBRProperties.
• Add family tables to drawings and edit them. See IFamilyTableAnnotation, IFamilyTableFeature, ISheet::InsertFamilyTable.
• Get top-level items in body folders. See IBodyFolder::GetTopLevelFeatureCount and IBodyFolder::GetTopLevelFeatures.
• Receive notifications when reordering solid body folders. See DAssemblyDocEvents_SolidBodyFolderReorderNotifyEventHandler and DPartDocEvents_SolidBodyFolderReorderNotifyEventHandler.
• Get and set the edge thickness when the display style is set to "Shaded with Edges". See ISldWorks::ShadedEdgeThickness.
• Move parent drawing views independently of child views and receive notifications when changing view positions. See IView::SetViewPosition and DDrawingDocEvents_ViewPositionChangeNotifyEventHandler.
