Get Sketch Arc Data Example (VB.NET)

This example shows how to get sketch arc data.

'----------------------------------------------------------------------------
' Preconditions:
' 1. Verify that the specified document template exists.
' 2. Open an Immediate window.
'
' Postconditions:
' 1. Creates a new model document with a sketch of an open arc.
' 2. Inspect the Immediate window.
'
' NOTE: Because the model is used elsewhere, do not save changes.
