Problem conclusion

  Incident Diagnosis:
  ASSEMBLY DESIGN Some files are not loaded while
  opening a product. Then, once manually loaded,
  parts are not visible
  .
  Restriction Explanation:
  The scenario deals with different problems.
  The main problem is that data are corrupted. Part
  files are not the ones expected by the Product.
  They have the right name, can be located on the
  file system, but contains internal information
  that are not compliant with what the product file
  expected.
  .
  It is possible that some files have been directly
  replaced with others (same name) by the customer
  into the file system.
  If so, it is not a good thing, and this
  manipulation is not supported by CATIA.
  Files can be replaced with a file with the same
  name only if this file has been generated by a
  Save As command of the first one.
  .
  In such corruption cases, Replace command has to
  be used directly.
  Using File Desk is useless. From CATIA point of
  view, replacing Parts will be completely different
  from the ones expected.
  .
  However, for complex reasons, the replace
  command
  fails partially and the geometry is not displayed
  at the end of the command.
  Replace command is not able to clean all problems.
  After that command, Data not to be cleaned again.
  Then, when reopened, Geomerty will appear
  normally.
  .
  A last word concerns the "Replace All references"
  option.
  When the reference can not be found or corrupted
  (CATPart file), option is of no use, because we
  are not able to find all instances of the reference.
  So, the Replace has to be performed on all the
  instances, one by one.
  .
  By-Pass:
  Perform replace commands (in desk/links) on all
  needed Parts.
  Save everything.
  Perform cleaner operation on the Product file. Save
  and reopen the product.
  .
