// ******************************************************************************
// Preconditions:
// 1. Specified drawing document to open exists.
// 2. Open the Immediate window.
//
// Postconditions:
// 1. Specified drawing document opens and is activated.
// 2. Drawing View4 is activated.
// 3. Detail circle and detail view are created using the visible
//    corner of Drawing View4.
// 4. Detail view is activated.
// 5. Get detail circle and some properties.
// 6. Examine the drawing document and Immediate window to verify.
//
// NOTE: Because this drawing document is used elsewhere, do
