  document, ﾨSample_MachiningArea.CATProcessﾨ.
  - Switch to Prismatic Machining workbench.
  - Launch ﾨCreate Machinable Featureﾨ command,
  and select a face.
  -->Then, the MachiningArea
  (CAAMachinableFeature.4) is created, and Dialog is
  displayed.
  --> BuildRep() is called for all existing
  MachiningArea.
  (5) Press the Cancel button.

  Incident Diagnosis:
  An undo notification is sent when the Cancel button
  is pressed. This is linked to the use of the
  GetCancelState() method.
  .
  In this case, the father of the previously created
  features (the Manufacturing View object or
  MfgView) is warned that it has been modidifed.
  As this notification is general, at the level of the
  Manufacturing View it is not possible to know what
  is happening. We don't know if a feature has been
  added to the MfgView, or removed or just modified.
  .
  So we need to completely update the MfgView visu
  and all the 3D reps of all the children need to be
  updated.
  .
  There is no direct correction of this problem, but a
  workaround can be implemented to avoid this
  global visu update.
  .
  Correct Application:
  The target is to avoid the global visu update, so I
  propose not to use anymore the GetCancelState().
  To replace it, the command that creates the
  features needs to delete them in case of cancel.
  .
  A sample code has been attached to this IR as
  material. It shows how to manage the deletion of a
  created feature and how the update the feature
  tree.
  .
  The code is an example on the
  CAAMachinableFeature, the same thing need to be
  coded for any other created feature
  (CAAMachinableGeom).
  .
  Documentation Reference:
  See closure description.
