Get and Set Spline Properties Example (VBA)

This example shows how to get and set various spline properties.

 

'---------------------------------------

'

' Preconditions: A sketch of a spline is active.

'

' Postconditions: Various spline properties are

'                 set to either the opposite state

'                 or a new value.
