Import DXF File into Part Sketch Example (VBA)

This example shows how to import a DXF file to a part sketch.

'-------------------------------------------------
' Preconditions:
' 1. Verify that the specified DXF file exists.
' 2. Open the Immediate window.
'
' Postconditions:
' 1. Imports the specified file into SOLIDWORKS.
' 2. Examine the Immediate window and graphics area.
