HD89265: GENDRAFT / NON-ASSOCIATIVE DIMENSIONS ARE INCORRECTLY SHOWN AS ASSOCIATIVE.

APAR status

• Closed as user error.

Error description

• SCENARIO:
  1. Start CATIA
  2. In Tools / Options / Drafting /
  Dimensions make sure that ACTIVATE ANALYSIS DISPLAY MODE is
  selected.
  3. Open the CATDrawing file.
  4. The 2 dimensions in
  the red circle are NOT associative to any geometry.
  These
  dimensions should be shown as non-associative and in grey
  color.
  .
  5.  However, the 2 dimensions are not displayed as
  non associative dimensions (grey)
  They are displayed in
  black.
  EXPECTED RESULT:
  The 2 dimensions should be displayed
  as non associative dimensions and in grey color.

Comments

• INCIDENT DIAGNOSIS:
  Even though there is no geometry projection for support of
  dimension the dimension are shown in black color.
  .
  In the provided document, the dimensions have been created on
  interactive points using the
  INTERSECTION POINT DETECTION mode.
  .
  As a consequence, the dimensions are associated to the points
  generated at the detected intersection.
  .
  The points generated by INTERSECTION POINT DETECTION mode
  have a COINCIDENCE constraint with the 3D geometry projection
  in drawing view.
  .
  Thus if the 3D geometry refering to the coincidence
  constraint is modified or deleted, the co-incidence
  constraint will be shown as broken or KO.
  .
  As the dimension is still associated to the point correctly
  it is being shown in black color. This is correct and
  expected behavior.
  .
  If the point associated to dimension is deleted, the
  dimension will immediately be shown in red color.
  Thus current behavior is not a defect in CATIA.
  .
  .
  VALIDATION:
  - If the view containing the dimension is activated, the
  coincidence constraints correctly show a broken status,
  meaning their associativity has been lost.
  - A red color exclamation mark in a triangle is shown which
  indicates that the co-incidence constraint is KO or broken.
