Error description

• Patterning problem ends in Topological problem.
  
  This worked on V5R5 SP2 thus it is a regression. We are
  trying to create a circular pattern of holes. When we try to do
  this we the error message TOPOLOGICAL OPERATORS:
  INVALID PROFILE BODY
  SCENARIO:
  1) Read the part "PATTERN PROBLEM TOPOLOGICAL
  ERROR BFIS - 4UKSPF"
  2) Select CUTOUT.15 and the Circlar pattern icon.
  3) Key in 16 for the instances and 22.5 for degrees
  4) Select the surface of the cutout for the Reference element
  ====> The axis are displayed properly
  5) In the Crown Definition tab key in 6 circles at 4.5 mm
  spacing.
  6) Also on the 1st (inner circle) of holes turn off every other
  instance so that they do not remove all of the material
  7) Select OK
  ====> It runs for a while and then displays the error message
  TOPOLOGICAL OPERATORS: INVALID PROFILE BODY.

Problem conclusion

• THIS PROBLEM WILL BE FIXED ON
    CATIA VERSION 5 RELEASE 7 GA level.
  NOTE THAT THIS PROBLEM WILL ALSO BE FIXED ON V5R6SP3.
  
   INCIDENT DIAGNOSIS:
  Circular pattern ends with "TOPOLOGICAL ERROR"
  
   TECHNICAL EXPLANATION FOR THE CORRECTION:
  We create several pockets, but the POCKET in the middle is being
  done several times with no real relimitation (no matter)
  This case was supported until V5R5 in VIRTUAL mode in the
  relimitation, it is now still supported for compatibility
  reasons.
  
   ANSWER AND POSSIBLE BY-PASS:
  Bypass:
  - Turn "Keep Specifications" OFF /or/
  - Deselect several times the unecessary pocket in the middle
  

Temporary fix
