Crop Drawing View Using Jagged Outline Example (C#)

This example shows how to crop a drawing view using a jagged outline with the least shape intensity.

//----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Preconditions: Verify that the drawing to open exists.
//
// Postconditions:
// 1. Opens the drawing.
// 2. Selects and activates Drawing View1 on Sheet1.
// 3. Creates a rectangle.
// 4. Crops Drawing View1 around the rectangle.
// 5. Examine the drawing.
//
// NOTE: Because the drawing is used elsewhere, do not save changes.
