[cgma-dev] RefGroup question

Hi Paul,

Starting at line 178, you will see that if the flag 'act_att' is set to true (it is initialized to true at line 136), then the attribute_manager is set to automatically read and apply the attributes upon reading a file.  

I've tried putting

  CGMApp::instance()->attrib_manager()->set_all_auto_read_flags(true);
  CGMApp::instance()->attrib_manager()->set_all_auto_write_flags(true);
  CGMApp::instance()->attrib_manager()->set_all_auto_actuate_flags(true);

in the test program (just after startup() is called -- which registers default attributes -- and before any geometry or groups are created) to no effect.

If you have any other ideas on what might be wrong, that would be great.

	Thanks,
	David
