HD76702: EDIT LINKS REPLACE WITH LOADED DOCUMENT FAILS WITH ` THE LINK R EFUSED THE DOCUMENT `

APAR status

• Closed as Permanent restriction.

Error description

• Edit Links replace with loaded document fails with `
  the link refused the document `
  SCENARIO :
  1. Create the following assembly structure in VPM:
  / - PART = CATPART
  ASSY
  \ - PART = CATPART
  Attach a CATPart to each of the parts in VPM.
  2. Open the assembly in CATIA V5 and create a
  Drawing with a view from the assembly. Store the
  CATDrawing in VPM.
  RESULT -----> The Drawing is linked to the
  Product. This is expected and is OK. At the VPM
  level this structure is fine, and all the Edit Links /
  replace etc options work.
  3. Open the assembly created in step 1 from VPM
  into CATIA V5. Save the CATProduct to file base
  using File / Save As. Close the CATProduct.
  4. Open the CATDrawing created in step 2 from
  VPM into CATIA V5. Save the CATDrawing to file
  base using File / Save As. Close the CATDrawing.
  5. Open the file based CATDrawing created in
  step.4 in V5 and select Edit / Links / Replace.
  Select the file based CATProduct created in step.3
  from the file selection dialog box.
  RESULT :
  Error : Error " "The link refused the document"
  occurs and the Replace command does not work.
  EXPECTED RESULT:
  Since the CATProduct stored from VPM to file base
  have the same UUID, the replace command should
  work and the product should be replaced without
  an error.

Problem conclusion

• THIS PROBLEM IS PERMANENT RESTRICTION IN
  CATIA
  INCIDENT DIAGNOSIS:
  Edit Links replace with loaded document fails with
  .
  RESTRICTION EXPLANATION:
  In fact, the catproduct doesn't have the same UUID
  since when you save in structure exposed mode
  the root CATProduct is not stored in VPM. So when
  you reload an assembly the root catproduct is built
  on the fly and its part number is set with the
  informations sent by VPM. But it is not the same
  CATProduct that was pointed at the beginning by
  the CATDrawing. So there is no chance it works.
