HD05088: GENDRAFT : CANNOT CREATE DIMENSION WITH GENERATEDITEM FROM CGR PROPERLY

APAR status

• Closed as documentation error.

Error description

• DESCRIPTION:
  CANNOT CREATE DIMENSION WITH GENERATEDITEM FROM CGR
  PROPERLY
  
  STEP BY STEP SCENARIO
  1. "Generate view from GGR" is checked in Tools->Options
     ->Mechanical Design->Drafting->Generation tab.
  2. Open "Product1.CATProduct".
  3. Create a new Drawing and generate a Front view from
  Product1.
  4. Select the GeneratedItem in the arc and create a Radius
  Dimension.
   ==> The arc is composed of 4 GeneratedItem which are lines.
  So cannot create a Radius Dimension properly. The values are
  not correct

Problem conclusion

• THIS MODIFICATION WILL BE INCLUDED IN CATIA DOCUMENTATION
  DELIVERED WITH CATIA VERSION 5 RELEASE 12
  
   DOCUMENTATION REFERENCE:
     MANUAL     ===>.Generative drafting
     CHAPTER    ===>.Customizing
     PAGE       ===>.View Generation Settings
  
   MODIFICATION:
     ====>.CGR views being only a graphical representation of
     ====>.the geometry, only line segments are generated in
     ====>.such views. As dimensions are not associative, the
     ====>.only elements that can be dimensioned are these
     ====>.line segments. As a result, it is impossible to create
     ====>.radius or diameter dimensions in CGR views, for
     ====>.example.
