Problem conclusion

• THIS PROBLEM IS PERMANENT RESTRICTION IN
  CATIA
  .
  Incident Diagnosis
  No deletion of CGR during CGR creation
  .
  Restriction Explanation
  In R14, the deletion of the CGR files via
  CATDMUUtility was a bug. The aim of
  CATDMUUtility is to update the Cache or create
  new CGR files. It doesn't have to delete CGRs
  whose original Part doesn't exist.
  .
  In R16, this bug has been fixed. Now, the observed
  behavior is correct. Tesselation process with
  CATDMUUtility can only update or create files in the
  cache. It cannot delete files.
  .
  By-Pass
  none
  .
  

Temporary fix
