HD68805: PART: HYBRID PARTBODY NOT DISPLAYED IN THE GEOMETRY

APAR status

• Closed as Permanent restriction.

Error description

• PART: HYBRID PARTBODY NOT DISPLAYED IN THE
  GEOMETRY AREA WHEN COPY-PASTED AS RESULT
  IN NON-HYBRID.
  .
  SCENARIO.
  1. Start CATIA V5R17SP03. Refer to the .ppt file
  attached.
  2. Open the file: Part1.CATPart. Workbench:
  PartDesign.
  3. Check the data. There is the Symmetry solid
  which was created in Hybrid design environment.
  This is the KEY POINT.
  4. Select Tools/Option by menu bar. Options dialog
  box is displayed.
  5. Select Infrastructure/ Part infrastructure/ Part
  Document tab.
  6. Check Off the Enable hybrid design inside part
  bodies and bodies option.
  7. Click OK button. The icon of PartBody is changed
  to yellow.
  8. Click PartBody in the tree by MB3, Select Copy
  in the context menu.
  9. Click Part1 in the tree by MB3, Select Paste
  Special in the context menu. Paste Special dialog
  box is displayed.
  10. Select As Result in the dialog box.
  11. Click OK button.
  12. Hide the PartBody. Expand the tree in the
  Body.1. Solid.1 and Solid.2 are displayed in the
  tree but not displayed in the geometry area. This is
  the problem.
  Error: PartBody not displayed in the geometry area
  when copy-pasted as Result.

Problem conclusion

• Incident Diagnosis
  Hybrid Partbody not displayed in the
  geometry area when copy-pasted as result
  in non-hybrid.
  Restriction Explanation
  Copy/Paste must not be executed from
  Hybrid environment to non hybrid
  environment. There are certain rules which
  applies to Hybrid environment but may not
  apply to Non-hybrid result and due to this
  transformation the Linearity of the data is
  disturbed and the data can get corrupted or
  an invalid data will be created which can
  cause future problems to the user. Hence
  disabling hybrid design for objects that were
  created in hybrid environment will not
  recreate geometry of non-
  hybrid objects.
  This behavior is completely forbidden in
  case of PowerCopy command and the
  development is working to restrict this
  partial behavior in Copy/Paste operation.
  If the user deletes the Symmetry feature
  and then tries to Copy/Paste only Pad then
  there is no problem is observed. This is
  because the PAD is a Solid creation feature
  and does not undergo a transformation
  form hybrid environment to non-
  hybrid environment. A Hybrid-body
  undergoes a transformation when it goes to
  a non-hybrid environment. That?s why user
  can paste the Pad in the non-hybrid body
  and soon this would be also forbidden in
  Copy/Paste.However the user must
  avoid pasting the Hybrid-Body (even if it
  contains a Pad) in a non-hybrid Part. The
  Symmetry does not have a Solid Geometry
  as StartUp. The Symmetry is an operation
  that results to a feature named
  Symmetry.x but the result is not a Solid
  Geometry even if the operation is done on
  a Solid Geometry.
  Hence it is not copied and pasted as result
  from hybrid to non-hybrid environment.
  See Inclusion rules table in CATIA
  documentation.
