HD67783: FILE OPEN: DWG FILE TAKES A LONG TIME TO OPEN AND OPENS PARTIAL LY.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• File OPEN: DWG FILE TAKES A LONG TIME TO
  OPEN AND OPENS PARTIALLY.
  .
  SCENARIO:
  1. Start up CATIA
  (Remark: it makes no difference whether you turn
  on the two options or not "Paper Spaces in
  Background" and "Keep Model Space" under Tools
  + Options + General + Compatibility + DXF+
  Import )
  2. File + Open the supplied dwg.
  3. The task meter runs beyond 100%.
  4. It takes extraordinarily long time before it
  comes to an end.  This is a problem.
  .
  5. On the graphic screen, it shows a long green
  thick "stick" lying approximately 45 degree to the
  horizontal. Actually it is just a cascade
  of "viewports".
  6. On the tree, it shows up totally 1330 Viewports.
  7. We show the main view and viewport1 and no-
  show the rest.
  8. It shows the conversion is just partially
  completed. (pls see Item3_In_CATIA.tif)
  9. Comparing to that displayed in AutoCAD,
  obviously the conversion in CATIA is far from
  satisfaction. This is a problem. (pls see
  Item3_In_AutoCAD.tif)

Problem conclusion

• THIS PROBLEM WILL BE FIXED ON CATIA VERSION
  5 RELEASE 19 GA level.
  NOTE THAT THIS PROBLEM WILL ALSO BE FIXED
  ON V5R18SP03.
  .
  Incident Diagnosis:
  The loop during DWG import was coming from
  a specific viewport defined inside the provided
  DWG file.
  .
  Correction Explanation
  The DXF/DWG import is now managed correctly for
  such kind of specificity (no more Loop and the
  imported file is correct too).
  .
