Hi Tim,

We hang an attribute on the engine entities pointing to the CGM entities, then after the operation, see what's left, and remove the CGM entities that are no longer referenced.  So in a sense, we only get "before" and "after" pictures, not "during" pictures.


I think we're in violent agreement; if there is no "during" picture, then I should just fetch entities "after" which have the same entityId as they did "before." Is that what you meant?

	Thanks,
