Problem conclusion

• THIS PROBLEM WILL BE FIXED ON CATIA VERSION
  5 RELEASE 20 GA LEVEL.
  .
  Incident Diagnosis:
  Different PostProcessor was selected
  .
  Correction Explanation:
  The user entered Post-processor names were
  stored in a sorted manner for picking up the entry
  in the NC Output Panel which led to a mismatch.
  Now the PP entries for the external Post-Processor
  Provider will appear in the same order as they are
  in the implementation of the method GetListOfPPs
  for the interface CATIMfgExternalPPManagement.
  .
  Answer and By-Pass
  In the implementation of the interface
  CATIMfgExternalPPManagement enter the name of
  the PPs in a sorted manner.
