SketchEditScope

Class
Description:
A SketchEditScope allows an application to create and maintain an editing session for a Sketch.
Remarks:
Start/end of a SketchEditScope will start/end a transaction group. After a SketchEditScope is started, an application can start transactions and edit the sketch. Individual transactions the application creates inside SketchEditScope will not appear in the undo menu. All transactions committed during the edit mode will be merged into a single one which will bear the given name passed into SketchEditScope constructor.
