This example shows how to modify the plane
of a sketch.
'----------------------------------------------------------------------------
' Preconditions: Verify that the specified template exists.
'
' Postconditions:
' 1. Creates a new part document with a sketch of a spline.
' 2. Changes the plane of the sketch Top Plane to the Front Plane.
' 3. Examine the FeatureManager design tree and graphics area.
