Get Data for Scale Feature Example (VBA)

This example shows how to get the data for the selected scale feature.

'----------------------------------------------------------------------------
' Preconditions:
' 1. Open a model document with a scale feature.
' 2. Select the scale feature.
'
' Postconditions: Inspect the Immediate window.
