# Extrude a plate outline made of lines and an arc
# 1.  Establishes a workplane that an object can be built on.
# 1a. Uses the named plane orientation "front" to define the workplane, meaning
#     that the positive Z direction is "up", and the negative Z direction
#     is "down".
# 2.  Draws a line from the origin to an X position of the plate's width.
# 2a. The starting point of a 2D drawing like this will be at the center of the
#     workplane (0, 0) unless the moveTo() function moves the starting point.
# 3.  A line is drawn from the last position straight up in the Y direction
#     1.0 millimeters.
# 4.  An arc is drawn from the last point, through point (1.0, 1.5) which is
#     half-way back to the origin in the X direction and 0.5 mm above where
#     the last line ended at. The arc then ends at (0.0, 1.0), which is 1.0 mm
#     above (in the Y direction) where our first line started from.
# 5.  close() is called to automatically draw the last line for us and close
#     the sketch so that it can be extruded.
# 5a. Without the close(), the 2D sketch will be left open and the extrude
#     operation will provide unpredictable results.
# 6.  The 2D sketch is extruded into a solid object of the specified thickness.
