Error description

• SCENARIO:
  1. Start CATIA.
    2. Select ???Tools / Options.???
    3. Select ???Options / Mechanical Design / Functional Toleranc
  ing  &  Annotation / Tolerancing??? tab.
    4. Switch ???Default standard at creation??? to ???ISO_3D.???
    5. Select ???Options / Mechanical Design / Functional Toleranc
  ing  &  Annotation / Tolerances??? tab.
    6. See ???General tolerance class.???
       Its is seen that the class is switched to ISO class.
    7. Go back to ???Tolerancing??? tab.
    8. Switch ???Default standard at creation??? to ???ASME_3D.???
    9. Go back to ???Tolerances??? tab.
        It is seen that ???General tolerance class??? is switched
  to ANSI class.
    10.  Launch Explore and go to ???install directory of V5\ inte
  l_a\resources\standard\drafting??? directory.
    11. Copy ???ASME_3D.xml??? and paste it in the same directory
  with the name of ???ASME_3D_TEST.xml.???
    12. Or go to Tools/Standards - create a new standard from ASME
  _3D with name- ???ASME_3D_TEST".
    13. Open ???Options??? dialog box again and go to ???Options /
   Mechanical Design / Functional Tolerancing  &  Annotation / Tol
  erancing??? tab.
    14. Switch ???Default standard at creation??? to ???ASME_3D_TE
  ST.???
    15. Go to ???Options / Mechanical Design / Functional Toleranc
  ing  &  Annotation / Tolerances??? tab.
  RESULTS::
  The ???General tolerance class??? is not switched to ANSI class.
  EXPECTED RESULT:
    The item of ???General tolerance class??? should be switched t
  o ANSI class:
  ( ???ANSI B4.3-1978-f,??? ???ANSI B4.3-1978-m,??? and ???ANSI B4
  .3-1978-c??? )
   in the list, when the standard that was duplicated from the ori
  ginal ???ASME_3D.xml??? is selected.

Problem conclusion

• THIS PROBLEM WILL BE FIXED ON CATIA VERSION V5R21 GA level.
  Additional Closure Information:
  INCIDENT DIAGNOSIS:
  The item of General tolerance class is not switched correctly
   when the standard that was duplicated from the original
  standard is selected.
  TECHNICAL EXPLANATION OF PROBLEM:
  The Tolerance class is switched between ASME/ISO based on the
  Tools / Options / FTA / Tolerance Standard.
  But the parent standard was not considered.
  TECHNICAL EXPLANATION OF CORRECTION:
  Two different tolerance classes drop down selection boxes are
  provided corresponding to ASME and ISO standard
  possibilities.
  The same is done for Linear, Angular and Chamfer dimension
  Tolerance general classes.
  User can change these two selection boxes independently,
  while creating the annotation with the tolerance.
  In this case the tolerance class value corresponding to the
  annotation set original standard will be considered.
  If the annotation set has an ASME derived standard and  a
  Linear dimension with the General tolerance is created:
  Then the value displayed in the Limit of Size panel will be
  initialized with the corresponding value of ASME selection
  box from the Tools / Options / FTA / Tolerances / Linear
  tolerance / ASME selection box value.
