Error description

• FTA / THE TOLERANCE VALUES DEFINED FOR A
  DIMENSION STYLE FORMAT ARE OVERWRITTEN
  WHEN CHANGING THE STYLE
  .
  0. Launch CATIA in admin mode.
  .
  1.  Modify a default dimension style within a
  drafting standard file.
  .
  2. Select Tools > Standards> In the Standard
  Definition window, and then select Tolerance >
  Main Value > Format, Lower Numerical Value, and
  Upper Numerical Value.
  .
  3. Create a custom dimension style within the
  drafting standard file. While the Standard Definition
  window is still open, select the dimension style, and
  click on the ?Create style? button to open the
  Create style window. In this newly opened window,
  give the new style a name and ensure that it is
  duplicated from the default dimension style.
  .
  4. Save these changes by clicking on the ?Save As
  New? button in the Standard Definition window. and
  rename this new .XML file.
  .
  5.  If necessary move the recently saved drafting
  standard file to the proper directory where CATIA
  V5 is instructed to find the drafting standard XML
  files.
  .
  6.  For a given part, activate the FTA Workbench
  and add Annotation Set.1. Then, make sure that
  the tolerance standards for Annotation Set.1 are
  set to ASME_3D_new.
  .
  7.  Add dimensions to the part while in the FTA
  Workbench. Either the Dimension or the Tolerance
  Advisor tool may be used to create these
  annotations. Note: make sure the numerical format
  for these dimensions are set to NUM.DINC in the
  Numerical Properties toolbar.
  .
  8) Use the Style toolbar to apply a different style to
  the recently created dimensions. Note: ensure that
  the numerical format for these dimensions is still
  set to NUM.DINC in the Numerical Properties
  toolbar.
  .
  RESULTS OBTAINED:
  After applying styles to an existing dimension, the
  tolerance values are changed to something other
  than what was defined in the drafting standard.
  .
  EXPECTED RESULTS:
  .
  When changing the dimension style for an existing
  dimension, the displayed tolerance values should
  reflect the values defined for this new dimension
  style. For example, if the tolerance values for a
  dimension style currently being applied are  .03,
  and the tolerance values for the new dimension
  style are  .010, then when this other dimension

  ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
  When reviewing the tolerance values in the
  Properties window, the two place tolerance
  standard value (i.e.  .03) has been converted
  to .00118 (≈.03/25.4), and the three place
  tolerance standard value (i.e.  .010) has been
  converted to .000394 (≈.010/25.4). Note:

Problem conclusion

• THIS PROBLEM WILL BE FIXED ON CATIA VERSION
  5R20 GA LEVEL.
  NOTE THAT THIS PROBLEM WILL ALSO BE FIXED
  ON V5R19SP01.
  INCIDENT DIAGNOSIS:
  .
  FTA / THE TOLERANCE VALUES DEFINED FOR A
  DIMENSION STYLE FORMAT ARE OVERWRITTEN
  WHEN CHANGING THE STYLE.
  .
  CORRECTION EXPLANATION:
  .
  The correction has been done for the Standards
  editor for the Tolerance > Upper/Lower Numerical
  Values.
  .
  Now the behavior is correct.
  The behavior can be described well by the avi file.
  So to get the correct results.
  Please follow the following steps:
  1. Go to Tools/ Options/General/Parameters and
  measure tool/ Units/
  Change the Unit of length to "Inch".
  2. In Tools/ Standard/Drafting /Style
  : Length distance Dimension/ :
  Update the : Tolerance > Main Value > Lower
  Numerical Value, and Upper Numerical Value.
  .
  Please note that the "in" is being specified now.
  Save the changes made to the New XML file.
  .
  Please see the attached avi file.
  .
  BYPASS:
  To get the correct results use the values in "mm"
  or in "degrees".
