Altium Script Recommendation

   Hello,

I have one comment to the Altium Script feature. 

Altium recommend to use pre and post processes in scripts with PCBServer usage. 

So it would be nice to see in the CreateComponent Procedure this processes. For example:

Procedure CreateComponentSOD2613X115N;
Var
    NewPCBLibComp               : IPCB_LibComponent;
    NewPad                      : IPCB_Pad2;
    NewRegion                   : IPCB_Region;
    NewContour                  : IPCB_Contour;
    STEPmodel                   : IPCB_ComponentBody;
    Model                       : IPCB_Model;

Begin

    Try
    PCBServer.PreProcess;
    NewPCBLibComp := PCBServer.CreatePCBLibComp;

..............

    CurrentLib.RegisterComponent(NewPCBLibComp);
    CurrentLib.CurrentComponent := NewPcbLibComp;

    Finally
    PCBServer.PostProcess;
    End;

    CurrentLib.Board.ViewManager_FullUpdate;

    Client.SendMessage('PCB:Zoom', 'Action=All' , 255, Client.CurrentView)
End;

It's not a big deal, but would be nice to see.
