  Additional Closure Information:
  Incident Diagnosis:
  File - Save Management startup catalog file error
  Technical Reason:
  The scenario can be divided in 2 major steps.
  1) Saving a Catalog file (along with data)with Save
  Management (in same directory as data)
  2) Warning displayed while opening the saved data.
  The issue was opened for 2nd step i.e. Warning displayed
  while opening the saved data in R20 (which was not
  the case in R19).The old behavior was an inconsistent
  behavior that had been considered as a bug and fixed
  accordingly, with no specific PER/PES. This is the reason,
  Warning is displayed from R20 onwards.
  However, the 2nd step is side-effect of step 1 i.e. incorrect
  saving of Catalog file, results in
  Warning during Open. As per doc ,catalog file should be saved
  at intel_a\resources\graphic (Along with newly created
  Catalog files, same should be applicable to modified &
  re-saved catalog files). If Catalog is saved at correct
  location, the warning is not seen.
  However, the warning display is additional behavior since R20
  and this is done as a fix of
  some bug. It's not documented. Hence, it is being closed as a
  permanent restriction.
  Note: The Graphic path is part of the application
  installation files and is not a user directory.
  Ideally, Catia users should not have write access to such
  directories. This should require administrator privileges. So
  saving user data (CATProduct, etc) to
  intel_a/resources/graphic is NOT correct. Only application
  documents (CATfct, etc) should be allowed to be saved in
  installation directories.
  By-Pass:
  Save Catalog at correct location (intel_a\resources\graphic).
  Please note that When user Saves catalog file at different
  location than resource path, it???s storage path changes. When
  you close the editor, catalog files still remain in session.
  Catalog files once loaded in session does not get unloaded.
  So even when user copies the catalog file again to graphic
  location and makes it read-only, it does not solve the
  problem if Catia session is kept open. Working with any Catia
  data (and that should include system data like catalog files)
  outside Catia (like from windows explorer) is not advisable,
  WHEN it???s already open in Catia session. The problem will get
  resolved if Catia is re-started.
