Get Sketch Points Example (VBA)

This example shows how to loop through a selected sketch that has one or more sketch points and get the x and y coordinates of every sketch point.

'-------------------------------------------------------
' Preconditions:
' 1. Open a model containing a sketch with one or more
'    sketch points.
' 2. Select the sketch.
' 3. Open the Immediate window.
'
' Postconditions:
' 1. Gets the value for each sketch point in the sketch.
' 2. Gets the x and y coordinates of each sketch
'    point in the sketch.
' 3. Examine the Immediate window.
