Get Curve Segments Example (VBA)

This examples shows how to get the curve segments in a reference curve.

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

' Preconditions: Model document is open and a reference curve feature is selected.

'

' Postconditions: None

    Set swSelMgr = swModel.SelectionManager

    Set swFeat = swSelMgr.GetSelectedObject5(1)

    Set swRefCurve = swFeat.GetSpecificFeature2

        Set swEnt = swEdge

        bRet = swEnt.Select4(True, Nothing) ': Debug.Assert bRet

        Set swEdge = swRefCurve.GetNextSegment
