  Incident Diagnosis:
  PS: LOADING OF DESIGN MODE AND
  VISUALIZATION MODE IS DIFFERENT.
  .
  Development Request Justification:
  New setting needs to be developed.
  .
  Concerning this issue, specific to the Visualization
  Mode, here is the explanation
  1. First, the 2 CATParts has the same name but not
  the same UUID (internal identifier).
  2. The Visualisation & Cache process is based on
  DocId. Here, we are able the retrieve a correct
  DocId for the CATPart (in the father of BBB
  directory), but we are not able to check whether
  this DocId contains the reference object of the
  instance. To do so, we need to open the document
  and solve the Instance-Reference link (that is to
  see if UUID match between Instance and
  Reference). And we cannot do such operation
  because it can lead to huge regression (one would
  need to open all the CATPart in this case,which is
  not acceptable).
  .
  There is a possiblity to develop a new setting that
  allows user to perform this check, but this will be a
  new development which cannot be done in actual
  releases as it requires a full new functionnal
  development. We invite you to follow Enhancement
  Request process to participate to this development
  definition.
