Problem conclusion

• THIS PROBLEM IS PERMANENT RESTRICTION IN
  CATIA
  .
  Incident Diagnosis
  When using a macro to make an hole using a
  published element the feature Brep is KO.
  .
  Restriction Explanation
  Macro use the alias name of Feature to create
  Feature Brep ( this is not the case in live).
  If this name is not good the FB could not be
  created and the macro is KO.
  I our case 2 features have the same name
  Datum.1.
  The 1st feature is used, and the FB is KO.
  Nothing could be done to prevent this.
  But step have been added in order to have
  different names on the feature.
  .
  By-Pass
  If you delete and re-create the import of
  published sketch the naming will be good and macro
  will be usable.
  .
  

Temporary fix
