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 V5R13 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.
Deprecated APIs can be found in CAA IDL API Deprecated Index.

| Suppressed methods, classes and properties | ||
| HybridShapeDirection::X (Property Read) HybridShapeDirection::Y (Property Read) HybridShapeDirection::Z (Property Read) |
Removed from exposition because returned unpredicable results: the direction coordinates are not LENGHT but adimentional REAL parameters. Internal sofware returning a LENGTH made resulting value depend on the current unit. Use the GetX, GetY and GetZ methods instead. | |
| HybridShapeFactory::AddNewVariableOffset | Removed from exposition because allowed to create a non exposed object, don't use this method. | |
| Annotation::Z (Propert Write) and Annotation::SetXY |
Removed from exposition because usage may lead to corrupted data, don't use those methods. | |
| AnalysisManager::CustomImportFile | Previously undocumented. Has been renamed into AnalysisManager::ImportDefineFile for CAA exposition. | |
