HD93177: DRAFTING(GENDRAFT) / WRONG DIMENSION IN BROKEN VIEW

APAR status

• Closed as suggestion for future release.

Error description

• SCENARIO:
  .
  1. Start CATIA.
  2. Create a new CATPart and create a Simple Rectangular Pad.
  3. Open a new Drawing.
  4. Create a new front view.
  5. Create dimensions using horizontal + intersection point.
  
  6. Add one dimension without intersection point.
  
  7. Create a call out (Broken View).
  .
  RESULTS:
  The dimensions with intersection point become incorrect.
  .
  EXPECTED RESULTS:
  The Dimensions with the intersection points should be shown
  correctly.

  Incident Diagnosis:
  DRAFTING(GENDRAFT) / Wrong dimension in Broken View
  .
  Development Request Justification:
  Dimensions between intersection points measure the distance
  between 2D points. Thus, in case of generated views, as these
  2D points are constrained on the generated geometry, they are
  impacted by generative view operations like breaks for broken
  views. As a result, the dimension may not reflect the true 3D
  part/product value. For example, a distance dimension between
  two intersection points will show a value smaller than the
  distance measured on the 3D part, when the view is broken
  between these points.
  Such a break operation in a generative drafting is only
  applicable to the geometry generated from the
  3D objects. The 2D geometry added in the view does not take
  into account the break operation. In the case of 2D geometry
  constrained on the 3D geometry, like intersection points, the
  2D geometry will move along with the 3D geometry (as it is
  constrained on it), thus changing the measured value
  Integrating the break operations in the computation of
  dimensions for intersection points is an enhancement request
  which requires changing the way such dimensions are managed
  in CATIA. This
  is an impacting enhancement which currently has no targeted
  release.
  .
  By-Pass:
  As only the dimensions on 3D geometry will take into account
  the break in order to compute their value, then a 3D geometry
  that corresponds to the 3D intersection point needs to be
  created, allowing to create the dimension on this : e.g. 3d
  points or 3D wireframe have to be created on the 3D design to
  represent this intersection (or fillet original edge in this
  case), and this geometry is the one to be selected for
  dimensioning in the generative view
