This example shows how to get the object ID of a GTol annotation.
//---------------------------------------------
// Preconditions:
// 1. Verify that the drawing to open exists.
// 2. Open the Immediate window.
//
// Postconditions:
// 1. Opens the specified drawing.
// 2. Selects the GTol annotation.
// 3. Gets the type of annotation selected.
