What's New in V5R13 in CAA V5 Automation Objects

This article presents automation object, methods and properties that have been added since V5R13 GA to enhance CAA V5 automation capabilities, support functional evolutions and correct defects. Some of those modification already exist on V5R12 service packs. A few properties and methods have been modified or suppressed. VB and VBScripts code using those methods may have to be modified. VB projects using the corresponding objects must be recompiled.

Modified methods and properties
Group::AddExplicit Group::ItemExplicit	Out argument type has changed from CATIABase to CATBaseDispatch. To allow to group other objects than products in further releases. No impact in V5R13. Please check that your macros are able to handle this case.
