Problem conclusion

• THIS PROBLEM IS PERMANENT RESTRICTION IN
  CATIA
  .
  INCIDENT DIAGNOSIS
  The link is lost when relink the CATDrawing and the
  CATProduc t with edit/links/Pointed documents into
  VPM is used
  .
  RESTRICTION EXPLANATION
  In structure exposed mode, the catproduct
  document is not saved. So, whenever, the
  structure exposed CATProduct is opened in CATIA,
  it is assigned a new UUID. Since CAD*10216 is
  stored as blackbox product, its uuid is also stored
  in VPM. Since the uuid of the two documents is
  different, the link is refused.
