Get Centers of Mass in Drawing Views Example (C#)

This example shows how to get the centers of mass in drawing views.

//----------------------------------------------------------------------
// Preconditions: Open a drawing that has one or more centers of mass.
//
// Postconditions: Inspect the Immediate window for the coordinates of
// all of the centers of mass in all of the views of the
// drawing.
