Create Detail Circle and Detail View Example (C#)

This example shows how to create a detail circle and a detail view.

//---------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Preconditions:
// 1. Verify that the drawing to open exists.
// 2. Open the Immediate window.
//
// Postconditions:
// 1. Opens the specified drawing.
// 2. Activates Drawing View4.
// 3. Creates a detail circle and a detail view using the visible
//    corner of Drawing View4.
// 4. Activates the detail view.
// 5. Gets and sets some properties of the detail circle and detail view.
// 6. Examine the drawing document and Immediate window.
//
// NOTE: Because the drawing is used elsewhere, do not save changes.
