I have a CATIA assembly with several planes that I want to change the plane type of in a VBA macro. I don't want to create new planes because there are contextual links and constraints that would be too messy to deal with.

Instead, I am trying to find a CATIA api that would allow me to change a plane type, for example a "Normal To Curve" type to another plane type, lets say to an "Equation" type. I have been spending the past two weeks looking for documentation on where to start and how to implement this, but for some reason I cannot find a way to transform one plane type to another.

Can someone offer any guidance, links to documentation, or help?

Thanks
