HD12863: VISUALIZATION : VISUALIZATION DISPLAY CUBE OR ORIGIN CORRUPTION WHEN SWAPPING VISIBLE SPACE

APAR status

• Closed as suggestion for future release.

Error description

• DETAILED DESCRIPTION:
  1. File+Open. Open the provided CATProduct with
  CATParts
  2. Select the Swap Visible Space icon to go to no-
  show and select Fit All In.
  3. MB2 on the geometry to center the visualization
  cube.
  4. Attempt to Zoom in on the geometry.
  Result: Geometry does not zoom appreciably and
  instead moves around the
  display.
  5. Try View+Zoom Area to zoom in on a small
  portion of the geometry. Repeat several times.
  Result: Geometry remains zoomed out and cannot
  be visualized.
  6. Try selecting elements to bring out of no-show.
  Result: Elements are not brought out.
  7. Select the Swap Visible Space icon to return to
  the primary workspace.
  8. Try rotating and zooming then select the Fit All
  In icon.
  9. Select the Swap Visible Space icon to return to
  no-show and do a Fit ALL In.
  10. MB2 to center visualization cube.
  11. Swap back and forth between the master
  workspace and the no-show environment. While in
  the no-show window, do a combination of MB2 to
  center, zooming, rotating, selecting elements and
  MB2 again. Result: Soon the display cube or
  display origin becomes corrupted and
  results in the geometry disappearing at least in the
  no-show environment. Eventually in master also.
  Fit All In results in no
  geometry displayed or the geometry bounces
  around the screen and then disappears.
  .
  Expected results: All geometry will zoom and
  reframe correctly in both the primary and no-show
  windows. No corruption shall occur as described
  in step 11. Also, elements selected in the no-show
  environment will be brought out of no-show
  successfully.

  INCIDENT DIAGNOSIS
  .
  VISUALIZATION : VISUALIZATION DISPLAY CUBE
  OR ORIGIN CORRUPTION WHEN SWAPPING
  VISIBLE SPACE. IN THIS INCIDENT, 3 SKETCHES
  ARE INVALID DUE TO COORDINATES OF THEIR
  ORIGIN TOO FAR FROM THE ABSOLUTE ORIGIN
  (THEIR COEFFICIENT ARE LARGER THAN 1e16
  mm),AND THIS CAUSES THE VISUALIZATION
  DISPLAY PROBLEM
  .
  DEVELOPMENT REQUEST JUSTIFICATION
  .
  THE SUG CLOSURE CORRESPOND TO A
  DEVELOPMENT NEEDED TO AVOID CREATION OF
  INVALID SKETCHES WITH TOO LARGE
  GEOMETRIES (EITHER TOO LARGE ORIGIN OR TOO
  LARGE GEOMETRIES ON IT). THIS DEVELOPMENT
  IMPLIES CONCERTATION IN DIFFERENT
  COMPONENTS OF CATIA (INCLUDING SKETCHER
  APPLICATION AND GEOMETRIC MODELER) TO
  ENSURE THAT INFINITE GEOMETRIES IN CATIA IS
  HANDLED IN THE SAME WAYIN DIFFERENT
  APPLICATIONS
  .
  ANSWER AND BY-PASS
  .
  SINCE WE DO NOT KNOW THE WAY THESE INVALID
  SKETCHES HAVE BEEN CONSTRUCTED,ONE
  SHOULD RECONSTRUCT THEM PROPERLY, WHICH
  REPAIR THE PROBLEM. THE INVALID SKTECHES
  ARE LOCATED AS SKTECH.70, SKETCH.89,
  SKETCH.91 IN THE PART 20XX_B-
  4_PACKAGE_REV__14MAR203_ACM_xSET29.CATPa
