Comments

•  INCIDENT DIAGNOSIS:
  The user asks to display the drawing standard in a message box
  and expects to get a character string.
  But, doing:
  "
  Set TestDrawing = CATIA.ActiveDocument
  MsgBox TestDrawing.Standard
  "
  the user gets the number that corresponds to the standard of
  the drawing (the software returns a catANSI, a catISO or a
  catJIS that are some numbers and not a character string.
  
   CORRECT APPLICATION:
  If the user wants to display the type of the standard in a
  messagebox, he has to do in VB Script:
  "
  if standard=catISO dispaly ISO
  if standard=catANSI display ANSI
  if standard=catJIS display JIS
  "
