catia + VB - creating two holes in one face

Hi!
Why this code doesn't work:

Dim oHoleOPx As Hole
Set oHoleOPx =
oPart.ShapeFactory.AddNewHoleFromPoint(0,0,0,Powie rzchniaCzolowaOP, 50)
Dim oHoleOPx1 As Hole
Set oHoleOPx1 =
oPart.ShapeFactory.AddNewHoleFromPoint(0,10,10,Pow ierzchniaCzolowaOP, 50)

PowierzchniaCzolowaOP is a reference to the face. The sketch is
created at the YZ plane.

What's wrong? CATIA can't create the second hole. It shows an error:
'Colinear directions: cannot build an axis or a plane'.


Best regards,

Try updating the first hole (calling oPart.UpdateObject oHoleOPx) before attempting to create the next.

The reference to the face is apparently temporarily not valid until this is done.
