This article presents automation object, methods and properties that have been added since V5R5 GA to enhance CATIA V5 automation capabilities, support functional evolutions and correct defects. Some of those modification already exist on V5R5 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.
