Create Section View and Get Some Data Example (VB.NET)

'--------------------------------------------------------------------------
' Preconditions:
' 1. Open public_documents\samples\tutorial\driveworksxpress\mobile gantry.slddrw
' 2. Open the Immediate window.
'
' Postconditions:
' 1. Creates a section view of Drawing View4.
' 2. Sets and gets some section view settings.
' 3. Examine the drawing and the Immediate window.
'
' NOTE: Because this drawing is used elsewhere, do not save changes.
