Get All Sketch Segments in Drawing Template Example (VBA)

This example shows how to get all of the sketch segments in a drawing template.

'--------------------------------------------------------
' Preconditions:
' 1. Open a drawing.
' 2. Open the Immediate window.
'
' Postconditions:
' 1. Gets all of the sketch segments in the drawing
'    template and their type and length.
' 2. Examine the Immediate window.
