Get and Set Spline Properties Example (VBA)

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

'------------------------------------------------------
' Preconditions: Open a new part, create a
' 2D spline, and select the spline in the
' graphics area.
'
' Postconditions:
' 1. Gets and sets properties of the selected spline.
' 2. Examine the graphics area.
