Journaling for Skinning and Lofting

---

The Advanced Surfacing Component contains its own specific version of journaling to support bug reporting. Each C++ API is journaled, via Scheme, when the feature is turned on. Each specific skinning or lofting operation should be performed in its own journaling stream.

Set the global option skinning_journal to TRUE to start journaling. AS will create a Scheme journaling script replicating the exact skinning and lofting APIs called in an ACIS C++ application. A Scheme file, skin#.scm, and a SAT file, skin#.sat, will be created in the working directory. The generated Scheme script(s) and SAT file(s) can be used in Scheme AIDE to debug problems with the skinning. Set the global option skinning_journal to FALSE to turn off journaling.
