Get Break Line Data Example (C#)

This example shows how to get information on all break lines in a view.

//----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Preconditions:
// 1. Create or open a drawing with one or more views that contain
//    one or more break lines.
// 2. Open an Immediate Window.
//
// Postconditions: Inspect the Immediate Window.
