This example shows how to insert an angular running dimension and get its properties.

//----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Preconditions:
// 1. Open public_documents\samples\tutorial\advdrawings\foodprocessor.slddrw.
// 2. Open an Immediate window.
//
// Postconditions:
// 1. The specified angular running dimension is inserted into the drawing.
// 2. Inspect the Immediate window.
//
// NOTE: Because the model is used elsewhere, do not save changes to it.
