<h1>Insert Point Example (VB.NET)</h1>
<p>This example shows how to insert a point in a drawing.</p>
<pre>'--------------------------------------------------------------
' Preconditions:
' 1. Create a VB.NET Windows console project.
' 2. Copy and paste this example into the VB.NET IDE.
' 3. Add a reference to:
' <i>install_dir</i>\A<b>PISDK\tlb\DraftSight.Interop.dsAutomation.dll</b>.
' 4. Start DraftSight and open a document.
' 5. Start debugging the project.
'
' Postconditions: A message box pops up when a point is
' inserted in the drawing document. A SimpleNote is also
' added to the drawing that identifies where the point was inserted.
