Get Sketch Slot Using Sketch Point and Segment Example (C#)

This example shows how to get a sketch slot using a sketch point and a sketch segment.

//--------------------------------------------------------
//Preconditions:
// 1. Open a new part document.
// 2. Open the Immediate window.
//
// Postconditions:
// 1. Creates a sketch slot.
// 2. Gets the length of the sketch slot.
// 3. Selects a sketch point on the sketch slot 
//    and accesses the sketch slot using that
//    sketch point.
// 4. Gets the length of the sketch slot.
// 5. Selects a sketch segment on the sketch slot 
//    and accesses the sketch slot using that
//    sketch segment.
// 6. Gets the length of the sketch slot.
// 7. Examine the Immediate window.
