Error description

• "Create/Replace TDM Tool list" destroying data in
  TDM Database
  .
  Hello,
  The problem only occurs, when interface to
  customer is active.
  .
  Using feature "create/replace customer's Tool List "
  the first time after opening setup editor in CATIA
  V5, the name of manufacturing Program is entered
  automatzically as Tool List Id into the appearing
  panel. Program is entered automatzically as Tool
  List Id into the appearing panel.
  .
  In parallel this is written into
  DialogEditStack.CATSettings and
  NCMfgResources.CATSettings. When calling the
  feature again and the name of manufacturing
  program has changed in the meantime, the "old"
  name is used and the "replace" button is
  activated. "old" name is used and the "replace"
  button is activated.
  .
  This leads into replacing tools of "old"-tool list in
  customer with new tools from actual nc program.
  The name of the tool list has to be modified
  manually. If no one is takinbg care of this problem,
  later on wrong tools are prepared for running the
  nc-program on shop floor.This can end in crashes
  on the machine tool and destroying the tools.
  .
  How it should be:
  To initiate the "cretae/replace customer Tool List"
  always the name of a manufacturing program has
  to be pre-selected. Take this ALWAYS into the
  entry field of "Tool List Id " of appearing panel and
  don't use it from DialogEditStack.CATSettings or
  NCMfgResources.CATSettings.
