Create Wrap Feature on Multiple Faces Example (VBA)

This example shows how to create a wrap feature on multiple faces.

'---------------------------------------------------------------------------
' Preconditions: Verify that the part to open exists.
'
' Postconditions:
' 1. Opens the part.
' 2. Selects the plane on which to sketch a circle.
' 3. Sketches the circle.
' 4. Selects the sketch of the circle and the faces on which to
'    wrap it.
' 5. Creates the wrap feature.
' 6. Examine the FeatureManager design tree and part.
'
' NOTE: Because the part is used elsewhere, do not save changes.
