This example shows how to rotate a model in the graphics area.

'----------------------------------------------------------------------------
' Preconditions:
' 1. Verify that the specified part template exists.
' 2. Watch the graphics while the macro runs.
'
' Postconditions:
' 1. Creates a new part document.
' 2. Inserts and extrudes a rectangular sketch.
' 3. Rotates the sketch multiple times.
