  Incident Diagnosis
  MODIFY LINKS FOR SECTION VIEW DOES NOT
  GIVE CORRECT DISPLAY OF SECTION VIEW
  .
  Correction Explanation:
  A warning panel has been added. It will appear
  when selecting the "Add all" button.
  .
  Warning Message :
  The reference product to be taken into account is
  going to change. Updating the view, the projection
  plane (origin and/or orientation) may change.  As a
  result, some inconsistencies may appear between
  modified view and linked views (between section
  callout and resulting section view, detail callout
  and....)
  .
  Explanation regarding the warning panel and
  current behavior :
  .
  When creating a view of a whole CATProduct, all
  the assembly transformations are taken into
  account while projecting the 3D geometry in the
  drawing.
  But, when creating a view of a sub-part of a
  CATProduct, not all the assembly transformations
  are taken into account. Because the view mustn't
  be impacted by a
  modification done in the CATProduct somewhere
  else than under the sub-part, the entry point when
  updating and positioning is the common father of
  the view's links.
  Example:
  Create a Part1.CATPart
  Create a Part2.CATPart
  Create a Product1.CATProduct containing the Part1
  Create a Product2.CATProduct containing the Part2
  Create a Product3.CATProduct containing Product1
  and Product2
  Move Product1 and Product2 in Product3
  (translation, rotation)
  Create a Drawing1.CATDrawing
  .
  Create a view of a Subpart of Product3 selecting
  Part1.1
  The entry point when updating and positioning the
  view is Part1.1.
  If the position of the Product1 is changed in 3D, the
  view is still up-to-date.
  That's the correct behavior.
  Using the Modify Links command user're able to
  add the Part2.1 to the view's links.
  Because user want the view to be impacted by a
  modification of the position of the 2 Parts, the entry
  point is changed to the Product3.
  But, the modification of the entry point has the
  effect of changing the number of transformations to
  take into account.
  Thats why the projection plane (origin and/or
  orientation) may change. Then, some
  inconsistencies may appear between modified view
  and linked views
  (between section callout and resulting section view,
  detail callout and....)
  .
  In such a case, a warning panel has been added.
  It  will appear when selecting the "Add all" button.
  (Hence it is PER closure)
  .
  For getting the desired result by "Modify Links",
  There is a need of an impacting development that
  cannot be done in V5R18. We're not able to change
  this behavior without changing the way we create
  views and the management of the up-to-date
  status. This development request has currently no
  targeted release.
  .
  By-Pass:
  In the user case, that's better to use the overload
  properties command instead of the modify links
  one.
  The overload command allows user to put in a 'no
  use' status the 2 part instances user don't want to
  see in the view. User will get the expected result.
  .
