Get Configurations Referenced in View Example (C#)

This example shows how to get the names and persistent reference IDs of the configurations referenced in each drawing view in the first drawing sheet.

//---------------------------------------------------
// Preconditions:
// 1. Open a drawing document with multiple
//    drawing views and multiple referenced 
//    configurations in the first drawing sheet 
//    in the drawing.
// 2. Open the Immediate window.
//
// Postconditions:
// 1. Traverses the drawing views in the first 
//    drawing sheet and gets each drawing view's:
//    *  name
//    *  referenced model name
//    *  referenced configuration name and
//       persistent reference ID
// 2. Examine the Immediate window.
