Local fix

Problem summary

• OPTIMIZATION IN VB SCRIPT IS INCORRECTLY PERFORMED.
  

Problem conclusion

• THIS PROBLEM IS PERMANENT RESTRICTION IN CATIA
  
   INCIDENT DIAGNOSIS:
  OPTIMIZATION IN VB SCRIPT IS INCORRECTLY PERFORMED.
  
   TECHNICAL EXPLANATION FOR THE RESTRICTION:
  In fact, when you run an optimization with Vbscript,
  you can do it with or without the stop panel. This
  has a consequence on script behaviour : if you use
  the panel, it launches a command, which is natively
  asynchroneous. So if you can not run several
  optimizations in this mode. And you can not write a
  script that runs an optimization in this mode, gets
  the result and uses it.
  
   BY-PASS:
  There is a simple bypass : modify the argument of
  the Run method from True (with panel) to False.
  
  I've added following explanation in Run method in
  Vb documentation :
  WARNING : if argument is TRUE, the optimization is
  launched asynchronously, and you can not run
  several optimizations in this mode.
  

Temporary fix
