HE06330: DRAFTING - COPY A SECTION VIEW AND PASTE IT IN ANOTHER SHEET LEA DS TO HANG OF CATIA

APAR status

• Closed as duplicate of another APAR.

Error description

• If the view name is not the standard view name defined by
  CATIA, the Copy and Paste of this view to a new Sheet leads
  to hang of CATIA.
  Scenario :
  1- Open the CATDrawing file
  This Drawing contains a Section view A-A and a Section view
  X25
  Note that the name 'Section view A-A' is defined in CATIA by
  default
  The name 'Section view X25' is defined, by modifying the
  prefix B by X25 and delete of the symbol '-' and second
  prefix B
  2- Copy Section view A-A and Paste it on Sheet.2
  We get Section view A-A[2] under Sheet.2
  3- Copy Section view X25 and Paste it on Sheet.2
  Result :
  CATIA hangs
  Expected Result :
  Copy and Paste of Section view X25 in Sheet.2 without hang of
  CATIA.
  

Local fix

• empty

Problem conclusion

• THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN FOUND TO BE ANOTHER SYMPTOM OF THE
  PROBLEM REPORTED IN  APAR HE05455 OR THE ANSWER MADE FOR THIS
  DUPLICATE APAR APPLIES ALSO TO THE CURRENT PROBLEM.
  Additional Closure Information:
  Incident Diagnosis:
  Issue with the algorithm in charge of computing a new name
  for the pasted view when the viewname formula does not use
  the suffix.
  The algorithm should be re-written as it is obviously poorly
  designed. The pasted ViewName should not be updated in a
  while loop. The loop should just be used in order to look for
  an available name. Then the ViewName should be updated.
  The algorithm in charge of computing a new name for the
  pasted view is rewritten.
  By-Pass:
  The infinite loop is due to the fact that the viewname's
  formula in the given data does not produce a viewname that
  takes into account the suffix.
  In order to make the Copy/Paste transaction of this view
  succeed, modify the formula so that the viewname takes into
  account the suffix (e.g. set the formula so that the name is
  prefix+ident+suffix)
