HD10774: SAVING PROBLEM WITH STL FILES

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• STEP BY STEP SCENARIO:
  1. Create a new Product document
  2. Select Insert-->Existing Component--> and
  select any stl file
  3. Select File --> Save Management
  4. Select on the Product document in the list and do
  a Save As to a new directory
  5. Select Propogate Directory
  6. The stl will be marked such that you would think
  it would be saved to the directory as well
  7. Select OK
  -> The product will get saved to the new directory
  but the stl will not, but the Product document will
  point to the stl file in the new directory as if it were
  saved correctly.  This also results in the Send To
  not working because the file cannot be found.    To
  work around this, you have to manually copy all stl
  files to the new directory
  
  .
