APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Wrong behaviour of CATIA V5 saving management
  while modifying CATDrawing-Instances links
  SCENARIO:
  1. Connect to VPM
  2. Create three parts and the following
     structure :
            |---- DRAWING
  ROOT -----|
            |---- PART1
            |
            |---- PART2
  3. Associate a CATPart with one PartBody to
     each PARTx and an empty CATDrawing to DRAWING
  4. Close all documents
  5. Open ROOT in PSN and expand it
  6. Load PART1 and PART2 in CATIAV5 from
     ROOT in product mode
  7. Load DRAWING in CATIAV5 in reference mode
  8. In DRAWING, create a Front view of the
     instances of the two PARTs (In modify link , the
     pointed elements are the instances of PART1 and
     PART2 and not Whole Assembly ).
  9. Save all
  10. Check the status of the links in VPM
  => it is OK
  11. In CATIA, cut the instance of PART1 + Save all
  12. Check the status of the links: PART1 is missing
      in the structure and the related link is LOST
  => OK
  13. In CATIA, the link between DRAWING and
      PART1 is broken
  14. Force the saving of DRAWING by hiding and
      then showing the Front View + Save
  15. Copy and paste PART1 under ROOT in VPM so
      as to retrieve the initial structure
  16. Add PART1 in the existing CATIA V5 product
  17. In DRAWING, remove the broken link and
      add the new instance of PART1
  18. Update DRAWING and save it
  =>  CATIA does not seem to take the change of links
      into account
  19. Check the status of the links => it s KO
  
  RESULT:
  There are no more links between DRAWING and
  the two PARTs.
