    ' This example adds a line and a circle to model space.
    ' The line is added using a user-defined variable representing
    ' the model space. The circle is added without using the
    ' user-defined variable. Either use of the ModelSpace
    ' property is valid.
    
    ' Define the line
    Dim lineObj As AcadLine
    Dim startPoint(0 To 2) As Double
    Dim endPoint(0 To 2) As Double
    startPoint(0) = 0: startPoint(1) = 0: startPoint(2) = 0
    endPoint(0) = 4: endPoint(1) = 4: endPoint(2) = 0
    
    ' Add the line to model space using the mspace variable
    Dim mspace As AcadModelSpace
    Set mspace = ThisDrawing.ModelSpace
    Set lineObj = mspace.AddLine(startPoint, endPoint)
    
    ' Define a circle
    Dim circleObj As AcadCircle
    Dim center(0 To 2) As Double
    Dim radius As Double
    center(0) = 4: center(1) = 4: center(2) = 0
