SDK API GetReferencedArt fails to work in few cases

[Bala Athithan]

AIAPI AIErr (*GetReferencedArt) ( AIUIDREFRef uidref, AIArtHandle* art );

The above API fails to retrive the Art Handle of a TextArt(returns NULL when it should be having a valid arthandle) in specific usecases when A "CompoundPathArt" from Diffferent Layer is involved in the art selection.

For Example: Selecting A Text Art and CompoundPathArt from Diffferent Layers and moving it,This should provide a new Arthandle to the Arts when its moved and the API fails to retrive the new ArtHandle.

Any Help on why its failing would be appreciated!
