This example shows how to replace a sketch entity in a model with another sketch entity.

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

	' Preconditions: Ensure that the specified template exists.

	'

	' Postconditions: A sketch line is replaced with a sketch arc, and the

	' extrusion is modified.
