Error description

• IMAGINE AND SHAPE: SURFACE HAS TO BE
  SELECTED TWICE TO MOVE COMPASS IN THE
  COMPASS DEFINITION
  .
  SCENARIO:
  1) Start CATIA.
  2) Open the CATPart
  WB: Imagine & Shape.
  3) Select the Modification command.
  4) Select the Subdivision Surface.1.
  5) Click the Compass Definition icon.
  6) Click the All Type Selection icon.
  7) Select a left edge.
  =The compass moves.
  8) Select the right surface.
  = The compass does not move and the direction of
  compass changes in the direction which is not
  correct. (This is the problem.)
  9) Select a right surface selected by Step8 again.
  = The compass moves into selected surface and
  the direction of compass changes in the correct
  direction.
  .
  PROBLEM:
  Surface has to be selected twice to move the
  compass in the "Compass Definition" of IMA when
  changing the definition of compass into a Surface
  from an edge.

Problem conclusion

• THIS PROBLEM WILL BE FIXED ON CATIA VERSION
  5 RELEASE 20 GA LEVEL.
  NOTE THAT THIS PROBLEM WILL ALSO BE FIXED
  ON V5R19SP02
  Incident Diagnosis:
  Barycenter of face not computed when the last
  selection is an Edge
  .
  Correction Explanation:
  Problem fixed - Barycenter Always computed.
  When changing the definition of compass into a
  surface from an edge, the position and the
  direction of compass now changes by one
  selection.
  .
  Answer and By-Pass:
  Pick a second time the face.
  .
