IV93812: CANNOT SEE THE FEATURE OR RELATIONSHIP IN THE VISUAL DISPLAY OF THE ASSET WHEN USING NEGATIVE START/END ME

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The problem : Cannot see the feature or relationship in the
  Visual
  display of the asset when using negative start/end measure.
  This is a major issue  as roads are often
  extended over
  time. This means that the start of the road will often need to
  be
  extended from 0 to -10 for example to identify a road extension
  of 10
  meters.
  Version :  7606 with the latest IFIX  + Linear 7.6
  Steps to replicate.
  1. Go to the Assets Application
  Create a new Asset
  - assetnum : TLIN3
  - Have Linear? checked
  - In Linear Referencing Details,
    set Direction as NORTH
    LRM : KILOMETERS
    Start Measures : -2
    End Measure : 100
  Save
  2. Click Features Tab, In Features table, add new row
  - Feature : TIES
    Start Measure : 10
    End Measure : 100
    You can enter values for other attributes.
  Save
  3. add a new row
  - Feature : GUARDRAIL
    Start Measure :  -2
    End Measure : 90
    You can enter values for other attributes.
  Save
  Until now, it works fine.
  4. Now, I put  negative start measure/end measure.
  add a new row
  - Feature : GUARDRAIL
    Start Measure :  -2
    End Measure : -2
    You can enter values for other attributes.
  Save
  Then, in UI screen, you cannot see the visual display of the
  asset with
  the below err.
