Error description

• GSMD: COPY-PASTE CAUSES PART TO GO INTO
  UPDATE ERROR.
  .
  SCENARIO:
  1. Open S2069.CATPart in Generative Sheetmetal
  workbench
  2 Click MB3 on PartBody / Copy
  3. Click MB3 on BodyCopyError / Paste. Then it
  failed with next Update Diagnosis:
  Sketch.84 You need to modify the absolute axis
  definition to solve these problems.
  AbsoluteAxis Invalid or empty input element. In the
  contextual menu for this sketch, select Change
  Sketch Support.
  Face.1 Error
  Projection.1 No geometry specifications are
  associated to Edge.1.
  You can delete, isolate or deactivate this element,
  or you can choose a new reference element.
  Projection.2 No geometry specifications are
  associated to Edge.1.
  You can delete, isolate or deactivate this element,
  or you can choose a new reference element.
  This is the problem.

Problem conclusion

• THIS PROBLEM IS PERMANENT RESTRICTION IN
  CATIA.
  .
  Incident Diagnosis:
  Problem of Copy - Paste on a body.
  .
  Restriction Explanation:
  The original problem comes from the sketch. 82.
  The support and the contraints in this sketch are
  based on Boundary representation features. This
  features need a Label (the name of a face for
  example) and a support (the context where the
  face can be found) to be resolved (to have a
  geometrical result). In the case of this sketch all
  the features boundary representations are
  aggregated directly or indirectly have no support
  anymore. So the boundary representation features
  can't be updated anymore. Basically the issue
  comes from the fact that data was corrupted.
  .
  By-Pass:
  Follow the directives given by the error messages :
  1. After user gets the error message, edit
  sketch.84.
  2. Provide the edges for Projection.1 and
  Projection.2 again.
  3. MB3 on Sketch.84 and change Sketch support.
  4. Provide correct sketch support again. Now result
  is correct.
