Method that creates a new occurrence by creating a new component that is a copy of an existing component. This is the equivalent of copying and using the "Paste New" command in the user interface. This is different from the addExistingComponent in that it's not a new instance to the existing component but a new component is created that has it's own definition (sketches, features, etc.) and a new occurrence instance is created to reference this new component.
