Example
Private Sub Form_Load()
    Dim objApp As SolidEdgeFramework.Application
    Dim objDoc As SolidEdgePart.PartDocument
    Dim objBody As SolidEdgeGeometry.Body
    Dim objCone As SolidEdgeGeometry.Cone
    Dim sStatus As String
    Dim dblCnBasePt() As Double
    ' Report errors
    Const PI = 3.14159265358979
    ' Create/get the application with specific settings
    On Error Resume Next
