spline data created by 2d sketch

[johnteng00]

hi guys,

I have created a spline data with a sketch, then in the part mode, my program picks up the spline, but it is 2d, can anyone tell me how to get the 3D data for the spline? basically I need the transformation of the sketch so I can transform the 2D spline into 3D spline programmatically. Briefly looking at the sketch doc, I didn't find any functions that can return me the matrix of the sketch.

thanks
eric

A spline created in a 2D sketch is a 2D spline and
only has x-y coordinates.  However, in a part the sketch knows about its
position in 3D space and supports some functionality to let you get the position
of a 2D sketch point in 3D model space.  If you look at the methods and
properties supported by the PlanarSketch object you'll see this
functionality.
