Get Sketch Slot Using Sketch Point and Segment Example (VB.NET)

This example shows you how to get a sketch slot using a sketch point and a sketch segment.

'--------------------------------------------------------

' Preconditions:  New part document is open

'

' Postconditions:

' 1. Sketch slot is created.

' 2. Sketch point on the sketch slot is selected

'    and the sketch slot accessed using that

'    sketch point.

' 3. Sketch segment on the sketch slot is selected

'    and the sketch slot accessed using that

'    sketch segment.
