Hello everyone,
I'm new into Catia V5 Macro's world and I try to create one instantiating a detail, then creating an arrow that is attached to the external circle of my detail. No problem with the instantiation nor the creation of the arrow, the main problem is when wanting to attach the tail to my circle. It's working with any dummy geometry (like a circle that I create in the drawing manually for example) but when I want to attach it to a detail it's not working.
From what I understood, it's because TailTarget wants a geometry but because details are just references to an existing view on another sheet it's not working. What is weird is that you can link manually the arrow to the detail (Right click -> Add extremity link ) but when observing what is inside the Arrow's variable, TailTarget is just written as failed (so the reference problem if I'm right)
On the left the arrow linked manually to the detail and on the right the arrow manually linked to a normal circle
So here is my question : is it possible to solve this through VBA code or it's just a limitation of the library ?
