HD75615: WHAT IS THE IMPACT OF IPRECISION FOR CATIAHYBRIDSHAPEOFFSET

APAR status

• Closed as documentation error.

Error description

• Abstract:
  What is the impact of iprecision for
  CATIAHybridShapeOffset object?
  .
  Scenario:
  1. Launch the CATIA.
  2. Open the attached CATPart.
  3. Go to Tools-> Macro. Select the attached
  CATVBA. Run the macro.
  Macro creates a offset feature. A precision of 0.1 is
  given in the AddNewOffset method
  4. Edit the macro to change the value of precision
  to 0.001 or other value and run the macro again.
  .
  Result:
  Result is same after step 3 and step 4 though the
  values of iprecision were quite different.
  .
  Expected Result:
  If parameter iprecision is not needed, it should be
  removed from the method.
  .

Problem conclusion

• THIS MODIFICATION WILL BE INCLUDED IN THE
  DOCUMENTATION DELIVERED WITH CATIA
  VERSION 5 RELEASE 19 SP01 LEVEL.
  .
  Incident Diagnosis:
  The variable 'ipresision' did not make any impact
  on the output of the offset.
  .
  Correction Explanation:
  This variable is no longer used in this method
  implementation, thus the comment has been
  changed accordingly.
  .
  Modification Documentation:
  CAA Encyclopedia>Automation API>AddNewOffset()
  .
  Comment for iPrecision parameter
  iPrecision
  This variable is no longer in use and any change in
  it's value does not impact the output
  .
