According to the V5Automation.chm from V5-6R2021 this was introduced in V5-6R2018 GA. However, I do have the V5Automation.chm from V5-6R2018 GA which was in fact used to generate pycatia. Must not have been properly documented at this stage by Dassault.

Anyways, this will get added but I'll need to go through all the new features and try and capture them too. I'll also need to get pycatia to do a version check before the user runs the these new methods. Unless, I leave them to fail without telling the user why, maybe just comment on the fact in the doc string for the method?

Unfortunately I don't currently have a way to test them anyway.

I'll need to think on this ....

Property ScaleOnExtremities() As boolean

Returns or sets the scale on extremities mode. Example: This example retrieves the target element of head side on MyArrow drawing arrow.

 oScaleOnExtremities = MyArrow.ScaleOnExtremities

I've now added a bunch of new Classes, methods, properties and enums introduced between R2018 and R2021 which are listed in the CHANGELOG.md for the developement branch.

One of these additions is DrawingArrow.scale_on_extremities.

This will be included in next release which will be 0.8.0.

Thanks for letting me know about this.

I should be able to get the V5Automation.chm for CATIA V5-6R2023 in a couple of weeks so I'll add anything missing between CATIA V5-6R2021 > CATIA V5-6R2023 then.

@evereux

If Suppose user uses the lower version, notify them with error msg : These Methods or Class, Property not available with this CATIA version.

What I ended up doing was simply log a message to the console if the CATIA version is lower than the requirement.

0.8.0 is now released.
