Error description

• This case brings to light a regression from level
  R18SP5 to R17SP8. To play the customer scenario
  please use "072808-QUM.zip" material and follow
  the following steps:
  ..
  1) Open 072808-QUM.zip and read
  the "CustomerStepByStep.ppt"
  2) In Windows create 2 temporari folders in the C:
  disk: C:\tmp\A and C:\tmp\B
  3) Open the CAA workspace (\072808-QUM\DATA
  MATERIAL\CAA WS AND
  SCRIPTS\SampleSource\CAA_WS) in Visual Studio
  following the steps described by the customer
  4) Launch CATIA with settings defined as shown in
  the ppt and in the R18.avi video (\072808-
  QUM\SCENARII VIDEOS\R18.avi or R17.avi)
  5) Make an "Open" in CATIA of the .CATDrawing
  file (\072808-QUM\DATA MATERIAL\CATIA
  FILES\SampleData)
  6) In CATIA Go to "Tools Macros" and upload the
  2 .CATScript files (\072808-QUM\DATA
  MATERIAL\CAA WS AND SCRIPTS\SampleSource)
  7) Run SampleA.CATScript and check the files are
  created in the A folder
  8) Close the .CATDrawing file in CATIA and make
  an "Open" in CATIA of the .CATDrawing file
  previously created in C:\tmp\A
  9) Run SampleB.CATScript and check the file is
  created in the B folder
  10) Close the .CATDrawing file in CATIA and make
  an "Open" in CATIA of the .CATDrawing file still in
  the C:\tmp\A folder
  ..
  There are 2 different behaviours that show a
  regression between V5R17 and V5R18 levels:
  - V5R17 result OK:
  The .CATPart file moved in a different repository is
  still found by the CATDrawing.
  .
  - V5R18 result KO:
  The .CATPart file is not found anymore in the Desk
  View it appears in red and the "Edit-Links"
  command shows a "Document not found" message.
  .
  The customer is excpecting the same result in
  V5R17 and V5R18.
  .

Problem summary

Problem conclusion

Temporary fix

Comments

• 1) The SampleB.CATScript uses a Windows file
  system (fSys) to do the cut, copy, delete, ?
  commands while CATIA is running. CATIA is then
  not warned about these commands and can search
  for a cut part.
  2) Windows file system should be replaced by
  CATIA?s one (CATAFileSystem) as mentioned in the
  CAA documentation in chapter ?CAA V5 Automation
  coding rules?.
  3) This worked on level R17 (in fact it shouldn?t!)
  because there was no writings in cache memory
  whereas on level R18 there are writings in it so
  CATIA still looks for the part.
