This example creates a section view and gets some of the newly created section view's data.

// --------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Preconditions:
// 1. Open:
//    install_dir\samples\tutorial\driveworksxpress\mobile gantry.slddrw
// 2. Open the Immediate window.
// 3. Run the macro.
//
// Postconditions:
// 1. Creates a section view of Drawing View4.
// 2. Sets some section view settings.
// 3. Prints some section view settings to the
//    Immediate window.
// 4. Examine the drawing and the Immediate window.
//
// NOTE: Because this drawing is used in a SolidWorks
// online tutorial, do not save the drawing when
// you close it.
