Local fix

Problem summary

•  INCIDENT DIAGNOSIS:
  In order to create the sweep, the system checks that the support
  of Edge (selected as Guiding Curve ) is up to date => this
  is not the case.
  .
  

Problem conclusion

• THIS MODIFICATION WILL BE INCLUDED IN CATIA DOCUMENTATION
  DELIVERED WITH CATIA VERSION 5 RELEASE 4
  .
  The Solid.1 ResultOUT of Pad.2 and Support of BrepElement is
  not up to date
  .
  Analysis:
  Starting part document : WireframeAndSurface-GettingS
  1- What happens:
  In order to create the Sweep, the edge of Pad is selected with
  the Guiding curve.
  A BRep feature is the created, which support is the Sweep
  of Pad.2.
  Then the system checks that the solid is updated is not the
  case.
  .
  2- Why is the solid not up to date?
  for the part created with v5r2, the MechanicalTool (in
  particular Body.1 in WireframeAndSurface-GettingStarted
  were not fully updated, except the Part Body. As a matter of
  fact, the attribute ResultOUT of the MechanicalTool and its
  value Solid.1 of Pad .2 are not updated. But the overall
  status of the Part does not reflect this.
  .
  In V5R3, this problem is partially fixed. From nove on, at
  the end of each Update of MechanicalTool, the attribute
  ResultOUT and its value are updated
  .
   BY-PASS:
  In order to fix the CATPart,
  - use force update or make any modification in the Part as
  this will re-run the Update and save the part.
  .
   DOCUMENTATION REFERENCE:
   MANUAL  ===> CATIA Wireframe & Surface Design User's Guide
   CHAPTER ===> Getting Started
   CHAPTER ===> Creating Two Swept Surfaces
   PAGE    ===> xx
  
   MODIFICATION:
  The model has been delivered on CATIA Version 5 Release 4 level.
  The Getting Started scenario can now be replayed as such.
  .
  Note that the sketches have been hidden to facilitate user
  selection.
