Get Spline's Parameters Example (VBA)

This example shows how to get spline parameterization data for a selected sketch.

'-----------------------------------------------
' Preconditions:
' 1. Open a new part document.
' 2. Open an Immediate Window.
'
' Postconditions:
' 1. Creates and selects a sketch with a spline.
' 2. Inspect the Immediate Window to view the spline's parameterization data.
