HD94240: SKETCHER: MIRROR: ISO-CONSTRAINED SKETCH BECOMES UNDER-CONSTRAIN ED AFTER PERFORMING MIRROR OPERATION

APAR status

• Closed as duplicate of another APAR.

Error description

• SCENARIO:
  1. Start CATIA V5
  2. Create a new CATPart
  3. Select sketch command and select XY plane
  Sketcher workbench will be opened.
  4. Create an arc of Radius 50mm starting from origin (0, 0)
  up to any angle less than 90 degrees and whose center point
  lies on vertical axis.(i.e. Apply coincident constraint
  between center point and vertical axis)
  5. Create a tangent line of 50 mm length starting from end
  point of arc up to any length
  6. Define angle constraint (Say 30 degree) between line and
  vertical axis
  7. Apply tangency constraint between arc and horizontal axis.
  8. Observe that the sketch is green i.e. iso-constrained
  9. Multi-select Line and Arc using CTRL key and select Mirror
  command
  10. Select vertical Axis
  Observation:
  Geometry is mirrored however sketch becomes
  white(under-constrained) after Mirror.
  .
  PROBLEM:
  Iso-constrained sketch becomes under-constrained after
  performing Mirror operation.
  .
  EXPECTED RESULT:
  Sketch should remain iso-constrained after mirror operation.
  

Local fix

• empty
