HD43630: GSD / SYMMETRY DOES NOT RETAIN COLOR IF A POINT IS ADDED IN TH E PARENT SKETCH

APAR status

• Closed as Permanent restriction.

Error description

• GSD / SYMMETRY DOES NOT RETAIN COLOR IF  A
  POINT IS ADDED IN THE PARENT SKETCH
  .
  SCENARIO:
  In a new file in GSD
  New part and new sketches, in GSD workbench
  1. Make a simple sketch, Rectangle in the xz plane
  of a rectangle.
  2. Exit the sketch
  3. Edit graphic properties to make the sketch blue
  4. Add a new plane at y=2
  5. Add a symmetry to mirror the sketch about the
  y=2 plane to get a second, parallel sketch (white in
  color). Sketch is mirrored correctly but color is not
  the same.
  6. Change the color of the mirrored sketch
  (Symettry) to red
  7. Edit the first sketch and add a circle and exit.
  8. The result is correct in the mirrored sketch the
  color is correct and the circle is created correctly
  OBSERVATION:
  8. Edit the first sketch add a point and exit. The
  point is displayed in both, but the red sketch
  (Symmetry) becomes white!
  >>This is problem.
  9. Same problems occur when sketches are
  translated
  EXPECTED RESULT:
  The color should not be lost when a point is added
  to the sketch.

Problem conclusion

• THIS PROBLEM IS PERMANENT RESTRICTION IN
  CATIA
  .
  Incident Diagnosis
  When a GeometricalElement 3D has several
  dimensions : its graphic properties cannot be
  modified, it remains white. For example : the case
  of a GSD Symmetry of a sketch that is composed of
  a point and a rectangle : it has 2 dimensions :
  lineic + point
  .
  Restriction Explanation
  We do not manage the graphic properties of a
  GeometricalElement3D that has several different
  dimensions, example lineic + point.
  See that this restriction also concerns the sketch
  of this scenario : the graphic properties of the
  sketch are only applied to its lineic elements
  (rectangle and circle in this case), the point is
  not colored.
  Difference between the sketch and the
  GeometricalElement3D (the GSD Symmetry) :
  - the graphic properties of the lineic elements
  contained inside the sketch are always treated,
  even if the sketch contains other elements (which
  remain white)
  - none of the graphic properties of a
  GeometricalElement with several dimensions are
  treated : neither the lineic, nore the point, etc. All
  the elements remain white.
