Get Style Spline Curve Type Example (C#)

This example shows how to create a style spline and get its type of curve.

//---------------------------------------------------
// Preconditions:
// 1. Verify that the specified part template exists.
// 2. Open the Immediate window.
//
// Postconditions:
// 1. Opens a new part document.
// 2. Creates a style spline.
// 3. Selects the style spline.
// 4. Gets whether the selection is a style spline 
//    and, if so, gets its curve type.
// 5. Examine the Immediate window.
