The function ProDemoHoleCreate() builds the complete element tree serially. First add all elements required for the straight hole under the PRO_E_HLE_COM element. Then enter the placement elements under the PRO_E_HLE_PLACEMENT element. Use element PRO_E_HOLE_DEPTH_TO_TYPE to specify the hole as 'through all'.
