Problem conclusion

• THIS PROBLEM WILL BE FIXED ON CATIA VERSION
  5  RELEASE 20 GA LEVEL.
  NOTE THAT THIS PROBLEM WILL ALSO BE FIXED
  ON V5R19SP02
  INCIDENT DIAGNOSIS
  Unable to delete elements in Drawing Sheet
  The "Main View" of the sheet is locked. View could
  have been locked on previous releases using either
  VB macro or Edit/Search to edit properties of the
  "Main View".
  .
  After creating geometries in it, it is impossible
  to delete them.
  .
  The problem is that geometries should not be
  created or deleted in a locked view.
  CORRECTION EXPLANATION
  The main view being locked, it should be
  impossible to create geometries in it. It is now
  impossible to add geometries in the view unless it
  is previously unlocked.
  After unlocking the "Main View" of the sheet, it
  is possible to delete created geometries.
  To unlock "Main View" and "Background View" in a
  sheet (these views are not accessible in
  specifications tree or in Edit/Search), the
  macro in CATScript file can be used.
