  2. Create in the Assembly Design workbench a
  symmertry with the plane
  'bg_02_01' located in geo body 'Spiegelebenen' in
  the part
  F16740000040313000000_003_bez_axis_cl_130.CA
  TPart and the Product
  F16740000040313000201_002_cl_fx_innenteil.CATP

Problem conclusion

• THIS PROBLEM IS PERMANENT
  RESTRICTION IN
  CATIA.
  .
  Restriction Explanation
  the same code is processed with the two
  scripts
  but for
  "B80168055378100000000_001_sym_of_ap
  02_absti
  mmplatte.1"
  the inputs are differents.
  In CATVBA , .Name is called to change
  instance
  name in
  "B80168055378100000000_001_sym_of_ap
  02_absti
  mmplatte. 1" with a blank between . and 1.
  Since
  this instance name is not already
  used .Name
  method change the instance.
  In CATSript, the input is
  B80168055378100000000_001_sym_of_ap0
  2_absti
  mmplatte.1"
  without the blank. This instance name is
  already
  use.
  .
  By-Pass
  Instance name should be unique in a
  assembly.
  CATScript has to be changed to avoid
  instance
  conflict.
  .
