Example
Private Sub Form_Load()
    Dim objApp As SolidEdgeFramework.Application
    Dim objDoc As SolidEdgeAssembly.AssemblyDocument
    Dim objPart As SolidEdgeAssembly.Occurrence
    Dim dblOriginX As Double
    Dim dblOriginY As Double
    Dim dblOriginZ As Double
    Const TESTFILE = "T:\vbtests\testcases\cube.par"
    ' Report errors
    Const PI = 3.14159265358979
    ' Create/get the application with specific settings
    On Error Resume Next

        objApp.Visible = True
    Else
        Set objDoc = objApp.ActiveDocument
    End If
    ' adding a part document to the assembly document
