Insert GTol Example (C#)

This example shows how to insert a GTol with a bent leader.

//----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Preconditions:
// 1. Verify that the drawing exists.
// 2. Open the Immediate window.
//
// Postconditions:
// 1. Opens the drawing.
// 2. Inserts a GTol.
// 3. Sets and gets the length of the bent leader.
// 4. Gets whether to display the projected tolerance zone and its height
//    in the GTol.
// 5. Examine the Immediate window and GTol.
//
// NOTE: Because the drawing is used elsewhere, do not save changes.
