Problem conclusion

• THIS PROBLEM IS PERMANENT
  RESTRICTION IN CATIA
  .
  Macro using PasteSpecial functionality is not
  working properly.
  .
  Restriction Explanation
  1. A macro should never be used to access
  functionalities that cannot be performed
  interactively. In this scenario this is the
  case.
  2. Further R19 documentaion on paste
  special states:
  .
  The method (and the script execution) fails
  if one of the following errors occurs:
  - The CSO is empty. The PasteSpecial
  operation could not be performed.
  - No CSO element remains after the filtering
  through the UI active object. The
  PasteSpecial operation could not be
  performed.
  In the present script 2nd error is taking
  place.
  .
  By-Pass
  None
  .
