//
// Postconditions: 
// 1. Clears the Tools > Options > Document Properties > Centerlines/Center Marks > 
//    Scale by view scale check box.
// 2. Activates Sheet3.
// 3. Suppresses Drawing View9.
// 4. Inserts center marks in Drawing View9 and Drawing View11.
// 5. Unsuppresses Drawing View9.
// 6. Examine the drawing.
