add edge by script fails

["Ponthieux, Joey" <j.ponthieux(at)nasa.gov>]

I sent this at 3pm this aternoon, but it never showed up on the list. 
Sorry if it posts twice.Very odd.


In JScript I create a cube, then call Poly.Mesh>Add Edge tool, then 
create a edge across one facet of the cube starting at a vertex, then 
somewhere in the facet then another vertex. When I am finished the edge 
is created and the following is what is created in the script editor 
history log.

CreatePrim("Cube", "MeshSurface", null, null);
ApplyTopoOp("AddEdge", "cube.pnt[2];cube.edge[-1];cube.poly[4]", null, 
null, null);
AddPointInteriorToPolygon("cube.polymsh.addedgeop", 0, 0, 1, 2, 
0.301210900245083, 0.366440890303661, 0.332348209451256, null);
TerminateAddEdgeWithInteriorPoints("cube.polymsh.addedgeop", 4, 11, null);

If I copy this to script editor dialog box and run it, it fails starting 
at the ApplyTopoOp. I've not edited anything this is verbatim what was 
produced by the log.



However this works:

CreatePrim("Cube", "MeshSurface", null, null);
AddEdge("cube.pnt[2];cube.edge[LAST];", 45.7073555139773, 
siPersistentOperation, null, null);



and so does this:

CreatePrim("Cube", "MeshSurface", null, null);
SplitEdge("cube.edge[1]", 51.7771523174187, false, true, 
siPersistentOperation, null);
AddEdge("cube.pnt[LAST];cube.edge[11];", 39.4032756141395, 
siPersistentOperation, null, null);


It appears any single edge created from edge to edge, edge to vertex, 
vertex to vertex will work. But any multiple edge creation with an extra 
vertex in the new edge run fails as a script. Anybody seen this before? 
Any idea how to get around this?
