Error description

• FTA / THE ANNOTATION USING FRONT VIEW IS
  NOT HIGHLIGHTED BY USING OPTIONS.

  SCENARIO:
  Ok CASE

  Options / Mechanical Design/ Functional
  Tolerancing & Annotation/ "Display" tab /
  Annotations in specification Tree/
  "Under View/Annotation Plane nodes" = Active
  "Under Annotation Set node" = De-activate
  .
  PROCESS:
  1.Start CATIA :R18SP3
  2.Open file: "T_27295.CATPart"
  (Workbench :Functional Tolerancing & Annotation)
  3.Expand "Views" on the tree.
  4.Check "Views" on the tree.
  =>All annotation using "Front View.1" is
  displayed directly under "Front View.1".
  =>"Front View.2" and "Front View.3" is also
  same.
  5.Activate "Front view.1".
  5-1.Click "Front View.1" on the tree by MB3.
  =>Context menu is displayed.
  5-2.Select "Front View.1 object" at context menu.
  5-3.Select "Definition".
  =>"Front view.1" is active
  6.Click "Front View.1" on the tree.
  =>"Front View.1" is highlighted on the geometry
  area.
  =>All annotation using "Front View.1" is
  highlighted on the geometry area.
  >>>This is shown correctly.
  7.Repeat Step.5 and Step.6 by "Front View.2"
  and "Front View.3".
  =>All annotation using "Front View.2" and "Front
  View.3" are highlighted on the geometry area.
  >>>This is also correctly shown.

  Tolerancing & Annotation/ "Display" tab /
  Annotations in specification Tree/
  "Under View/Annotation Plane nodes" = Active
  "Under Annotation Set node" = Active

  "Under Annotation Set node" = De-active
  .
  Scenario:
  Repeat the process as mentioned in Step 1 to 7.
  .
  RESULTS OBTAINED:
  In Both the cases ,
  All annotation using "Front View.1"  is not
  highlighted on the geometry area. Same is the
  case for Front View 2 , and Front View 3.
  .
  EXPECTED RESULTS:
  When "Front View" is selected, All annotation
  using "Front View" should be highlighted even if
  Options change.

Problem conclusion

• THIS PROBLEM IS PERMANENT RESTRICTION IN
  CATIA
  Incident Diagnosis
  FTA / THE ANNOTATION USING FRONT VIEW IS
  NOT HIGHLIGHTED BY USING OPTIONS.
  Restriction Explanation
  Three cases:-
  1.
  When only the ?Under View?option is selected, the
  annotations are highlighted on selecting the FTA
  view. This is because, the 3D annotation rep is
  aggregated under the FTA View node and the
  annotations are highlight in accordance with 3D
  RepPath defined. Here annotation 3D rep path is
  defined under the view node.
  =>Expected Behaviour.
  2.
  When both the options (i.e. ?Under View? + ?Under
  Set?) are selected, the annotations are not
  highlighted on selecting the FTA view. This is
  because; the annotation 3D rep path is defined
  under the set node.
  It is forbidden that 3D rep paths under two
  different fathers. Hence we can not set 3d rep path
  of TPS under View as well as under Set.
  Also we can not set 3d rep path of TPS under View
  instead of Set, because it will introduce many
  regressions.
  =>PRS.
  3.
  When the option ?Under Set? is selected, the
  annotations are not highlighted on selecting the FTA
  view. This is because; the annotation 3D rep path
  is defined under the set node.
  Here 3D rep path is no way related with View.
  Hence we can not expect the highlight of the TPSs
  on selection of view.
  =>USE.
  By-Pass
  Use FTA View/Contextual Menu/Select
  Annotations for the highlight of the annotations on
  selection of FTA view.
