i have a doubt in macros of catia

[Nandhakumar]

I encountered a problem while running the macros. what happened is:
I opened catia and from macros option, i select start recording. In part design, i am drawing a block (cube). then i stop recording and opened that macro, the same block is coming. But, if i tried the same thing for a block with rectangular or circular pattern, it shows error in running that macro. the error shown is “Set hybridShapeLineExplicit1 = hybridShapes1.Item(“X Axis”)”. can you please help me in rectifying that error, it will be useful for my project.
thank you. the full code is given below:

Your code is telling CATIA to look for an axis called "X Axis" in order to complete the rotation feature. This axis must either already be in your part - or - your macro can create it by simply creating a line and telling the circle pattern to use that instead of "X Axis". See attached for what the script is looking for, but if your script creates a new part each time, then it's not going to find it.
