Error description

• Hello DS,
  Please investigate this problem.
  .
  <AB> smoothing curve trouble(depends on magic-words)
  0) Set Magic-word on your system (See <Remarks> )
     and Start CATIA
  1) Open Styling_ex4-5-6.CATPart (GSD workbench)
  2) Click "Curve smooth" icon(or Insert->Operations->curve
  smooth)
       Sel Boundary.1 as "Curve to smooth"
       Sel Healing.2(yellow surface) as "Support"
       keep another option with default value  (See
  31029_1.jpg)
  3) Click OK
  ====> smooth curve is not on support surface (See
  31029_2.jpg)
  .
  <Remarks>
  This problem is depend on magic-word : L_CURVESMOOTH_ALS = 1
  .
  To set this magicword, open your system property and
  Environment tab,
  key-in this word and value of 1.
  (See 31029_3.jpg)

Problem summary

•  GSD - SMOOTH CURVE - USER GUIDE - INFORMATION ABOUT THE
   MAXIMUM DEVIATION VALUE WHEN SMOOTHING A BORDER EDGE.
  

Problem conclusion

• THIS MODIFICATION WILL BE INCLUDED IN CATIA DOCUMENTATION
  DELIVERED WITH CATIA VERSION 5 RELEASE 8
  NOTE THAT DOCUMENTATION WILL ALSO BE INCLUDED IN V5R7SP06.
  
   DOCUMENTATION REFERENCE:
   MANUAL  ===> CATIA Generative Shape Design and Optimizer
   CHAPTER ===> Basic Tasks
   CHAPTER ===> Performing Operations
   CHAPTER ===> Smoothing Curves
   PAGE    ===> N/A
  
   MODIFICATION:
  In task "Smoothing Curves" step 5 now reads:
  
  "5. Check the Maximum deviation button to set the
      allowed deviation between the initial curve and
      the smoothed curve.
      When this option is checked, the resulting smoothed
      curve fits into a pipe which radius is the Maximum
      deviation value and the center curve is defined by
      the selected curve."
  
  Furthermore, a tip has been added at the end of the task:
  
  "When smoothing a curve on support that lies totally or
   partially on the boundary edge of a surface or on an
   internal edge, a message may be issued indicating that
   the application found no smoothing solution on the
   support. In this case, you must check the Maximum
   deviation button from the Parameters tab and enter
   a value smaller than or equal to the tolerance at which
   two elements are considered as being only one (0.001mm
   by default) to keep the result on the support."
