This example shows how to mirror a view.

//-------------------------------------------------------------------
// Preconditions:
// 1. Verify that the drawing to open exists.
// 2. Open the Immediate window.
//
// Postconditions:
// 1. Opens the drawing.
// 2. Mirrors the drawing view.
// 3. Examine the drawing and Immediate window.
//
// NOTE: Because the drawing is used elsewhere, do not save changes.
