HD80937: ASD:COMPASS ROTATION INCREMENTS NOT BEING HONORED

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• ASD:Compass rotation increments not being
  honored
  .
  SCENARIO:
  1) Open any assembly that contains a sub
  assembly
  2) Set the compass rotation increments to 90
  degrees
  3) Place (or set snap) and rotate a part within the
  assembly. Note that the part honors the 90 degree
  setting.
  4) Open one of the sub assemblies from the higher
  level assembly in a New Window.
  5) Set the compass rotation increments to 30
  degrees
  6) Place (or set snap) and rotate a part within the
  sub assembly. Note that the part honors the 30
  degree setting.
  7) Return to the window with the higher level asm
  and place (or set snap) on a part. Rotate the part
  and note that the part does not honor the 30
  degree setting but rather is still honoring the 90
  degree setting.
  .
  PROBLEM:
  In the higher level assembly the parts are rotating
  in increments of 90 degrees but if you open the
  compass editor the setting is 30 degrees.
  .
  EXPECTED RESULT:
  Compass rotation should be honored.
  .

Problem conclusion

• THIS PROBLEM WILL BE FIXED ON CATIA VERSION
  5 RELEASE 20 GA LEVEL.
  .
  INCIDENT DIAGNOSIS: When several windows are
  opened, compass values were transmitted from
  one window user interface to the others however
  they are not taken into account in the compass
  manipulations. Each window owns its compass but
  the values were stored in the compass panel as
  static variables, therefore each panel was not
  having its own values.
  .
  CORRECTION EXPLANATION: The correction has
  been done by removing the static declarations so
  that each panel will have its own values and values
  will not be transmitted from one window to other
  window.
