APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• ASD : CONSTRAINT : CANNOT SELECT THE
  PUBLISHED ELEMENT FOR CREATING
  COINCEDENCE CONSTRAINT
  .
  SCENARIO:
  1. Start CATIA and click on Tools menu and select
  Options. Options dialog box appears.
  2. Go to Mechanical Design ﾨ Assembly Design ﾨ
  Constraints tab page.
  3. Check ON the option Use published geometry of
  any level.
  4. Click OK to options dialog box.
  5. Open Product1.CATProduct in Assembly
  workbench.
  6. Click on View menu and select Tree Expansion ﾨ
  Expand second level option. Specification tree is
  expanded at second level.
  7. Click on Coincidence constraint icon.
  8. Select Line.1 under comp (COMPONENT) as first
  element
  9. Select Curve.4 under Inter (Intermediaire) as
  second element
  .
  OBSERVATION:
  Curve.4 cannot be selected
  .

• ASD : CONSTRAINT : CANNOT SELECT THE PUBLISHED ELEMENT FOR CREA
  TING COINCEDENCE CONSTRAINT
  ASD : CONSTRAINT : CANNOT SELECT THE

  1. Start CATIA and click on Tools menu and select
  Options. Options dialog box appears.
  2. Go to Mechanical Design ? Assembly Design ?
  Constraints tab page.
  3. Check ON the option Use published geometry of

  OBSERVATION:
  Curve.4 cannot be selected
  .
  

Problem conclusion

• THIS PROBLEM WILL BE FIXED ON CATIA VERSION
  5 RELEASE 19 GA level.
  .
  Incident Diagnosis
  A Curve copy of an Axis cannot be selected for
  coincidence constraint.
  .
  Correction Explanation
  The copy of an Axis is now a Line : so the
  coincidence constraint is allowed.
  .
  Answer and By-Pass
  Re-create Curve.4 by copying
  Axis "AsResultWithLink" : the result will be a line.
  Then delete Curve.4. The follow the scenario by
  creating coincidence constraint between Line.1
  under COMP and Line.1 under Inter.
  .
  Additional Information
  This problem is also fixed on V5R18 SP01 level
  .
