Upgrading the Catalogue involves adding Plines to be equivalent to the Cardinal Points.

In Paragon determine the parameterized geometry and Pline positioning for the Cardinal Points.

If you are extending an existing generic shape use the existing upgrade file provided. Or if the profile can be based on an existing generic shape, use a customized copy of the bocupgrade<*>.pmlfnc macro. Modify the profile upgrade macro to account for the new parameterization to create and locate the Plines for the Cardinal Points. Use an existing example as a guide.

Run boccataupgrade.pmlfnc macro for upgrading standard catalogues.

Inspect the macro bocusercataupgr.pmlfnc to extend any lists to include the new profile shape, associating it with any new profile upgrade macro. Once modified, perform a PML REHASH ALL command in a Command window, if necessary, then run this macro.
