---------
I've received a valid bug report for one of my COFFEE plugins that only occurs in R9.012 (no problems in earlier supported versions). Here is the code:

  
     var oc, op;  
     if (!(op = GetActiveObject(doc))) return;  
  
     // Process active Object  
     // - Make editable if necessary  
     if (!instanceof(op, PointObject))  
     {  
          var bc = new(BaseContainer);  
          doc->StartUndo();  
          doc->AddUndo(UNDO_OBJECT_REC, op);  
          SendModelingCommand(MCOMMAND_MAKEEDITABLE, doc, op, bc, MODIFY_ALL);  
          doc->EndUndo();  
          op = GetActiveObject(doc);  
          undos = TRUE;  
     }  
// This line prints!  
     if (!op) println("That ain't right!");

And, yes, there is an active object in the first call. This could be related to SendModelingCommand()?

Any work arounds for this - like an update to COFFEE, finally?

Thanks,
Robert

Worked it out. Definitely a difference in SendModelingCommand() causing the issue. The workaround is not to try to do it to a Nullobject grouped set in R9. What did you guys do in R9?!

Thanks,
