Comments

• THIS APAR IS CONSIDERED AS A SUGGESTION
  FOR IMPROVEMENT FOR CATIA.
  PLEASE CONTACT YOUR SUPPORT DEPARTMENT IN
  ORDER TO OPEN A REQUIREMENT FORM.
  INCIDENT DIAGNOSIS:
  When a Boolean operation is done, the color of the
  operating body is lost when the operand body is
  built of feature list.
  .
  DEVELOPMENT REQUEST JUSTIFICATION:
  The difference in the behavior is observed due to
  the computation of the mirror. When the mirror is
  performed with the body build from current solid, it
  is just the copy of the shape and the associated
  color. When the mirror is performed with body built
  from feature list, since the features are copied and
  in this the color is not propagated. The correction
  involves changing the color management
  methodology in case of mirror performed with
  feature list which is highly impacting on CATIA.
  .
  We suggest you to open an enhancement request
  through ERD route to incorporate the functinality to
  get user desired result.
