  3. Save ALL data and close
  4. Create a new product and using insert document inser valve
  (that has been saved in previous step)
  5. Using Build part command change attribute value of
  EndStyle and save data and close.

Problem conclusion

• THIS PROBLEM WILL BE FIXED ON CATIA V5R21 GA level.
  NOTE THAT THIS PROBLEM WILL ALSO BE FIXED ON V5R20 SP4.
  Additional Closure Information:
  Technical explanation of the defect:
  Link between copied instance and reference is
  somehow not maintained. Relinking instance with
  reference part document using Edit->Links command
  resolves the issue. But thorough code its not
  possible for us due to limited exposed functionality
  Technical explanation of the correction:
  issue is resolved by two methods:
  a) For Instances in Session:At exit of Build Part
  Command, when attribute on reference is modified ,
  all instances in session will be checked and their
  attributes will be compared with reference
  attribute value. Mismatched attribute values will
  be updated on instances.
  b) For instances OUT of Session: A Design Validation check is
  provided which will sync instance attribute values
  with those of reference.
  NOTE: In both cases, only those attributes will be
  synced which are
  a) not propagated from line ID,
  b) which are modifiable and defined on reference.
  Possible by-pass and/or correction limitation:
  After instance is copied using "Copy/Paste 3D
  system" command, goto Edit->Links and relink the
  copied instance to its reference part document (
  user needs to do this even if the instance is seen
  to be pointing to the correct reference part
  document).
  The scenario is OK if this relinking.
  is done.
