About CATIAS macros and VBAscript

Hello

I would like to make macros in CATIA.

With the help of a classic VBA book, I was able to see how to make programs in VBA.

On the other hand, to communicate with CATIA and in particular to bring CATIA data (point, axis,...) into my program, I need to use "macro" functions specific to CATIA (in VBAscripts, example: GetCoordinates).

On the other hand, I can't find any help on the list of CATIA functions. In addition, when I launch the manual recording to know these functions, they do not appear.

Do you know where I can find help with CATIA's own "macro" features? And in particular the arguments required for a function?

FYI, I have CATIA help on my r5v21 version but it seems to me that there is not much in this help.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Personally I use it to code in python and c#.
