  .
  .Incident Diagnosis
  Macro including Selection does not run correctly on
  a document without an editor.
  .
  .Correction Explanation
  CATIADocument::get_Selection was badly
  implemented. A first correction was made some
  weeks ago to prevent this method from creating
  any document editor. This correction was too wide,
  it did not support documents belonging to an
  assembly which has an editor. This case is now
  managed : the editor of the assembly is taken into
  account.
  .
  .Answer and By-Pass
  no
