gokworks (gkkizil)MCADConfidence: Medium

a shaft design tool's "draw in SOLIDWORKS" button could return with no document while the UI kept saying it was preparing the connection (the host passed SolidWorks' interface id where it needed the application class id), and a second bug let the old phase overwrite the error on screen so the user never saw the failure.
