HD85662: TEMPORARY DEACTIVATION DOES NOT RETURN IN THE CASE OF RESTART .

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• ABSTRACT:
  "Synchronize all external references when
  updating" is not changed to activation when CATIA
  is restarted.
  SCENARIO:
  1) Open the attached CATProduct.
  2) Workbench is "DMU Kinematics".
  3) Select Tools>Options by menu bar. "Option"
  dialog box is displayed.
  4) Select "Part Infrastructure" on the tree.
  5) Select "General" tab. (Please confirm
  that "Synchronize all external references when
  updating" is activated)
  6) Click Cancel.
  7) Expand "Applications" on the tree
  until "Mechanism1, DOF=0" is displayed.
  8) Double-click "Mechanism1, DOF=0"."Kinematics
  Simulation" dialog box is displayed. "Simulation
  Information" window is displayed.
  9)"Simulation Information" message Reads as
  follows
  Contextual parts have been detected.
  Therefore, 'Update all external references' Part
  Infrastructure option has been deactivated. The
  option will be activated again as soon as you close
  the current document.
  10) Click "OK" on the window.
  11) Click "Close" on the dialog box.
  12) Select "Tools" > "Options" by menu
  bar. "Option" dialog box is displayed. "Synchronize
  all external references when updating" was
  changed to     deactivation. (This is the right
  behavior.)
  13) Click "Cancel".
  14) Close CATIA without save.(This is key point).
  15) Restart CATIA.
  16) Select "Tools" > "Options" by menu
  bar."Synchronize all external references when
  updating" is not changed to activation.This is the
  problem.
  RESULT:
  "Synchronize all external references when
  updating" is not changed to activation after restart
  of CATIA.
  EXPECTED RESULT:
  "Synchronize all external references when
  updating" should be changed to activation even if
  CATIA is restarted.

Problem conclusion

• THIS PROBLEM WILL BE FIXED ON   VERSION V5R20 GA level.
  Additional Closure Information:
  Incident Diagnosis:
  Temporary deactivation does not return in the case of restart
  Closure description:
  In V5R20GA Level, the CATSetting is Restored when session is
  closed, so the problem is fixed.
  In V5R19SP6 level,there has been a Change in the Simulation
  Information warning message displayed in case of Contextual
  Part. The updated warning message is as follows
  "Contextual Parts have been detected. Therefore, 'Synchronize a
  ll external references' Part infrastructure options has been de
  activated. The option will be activated again as soon as you cl
  ose the current document. Please be sure to close the document
  window first before closing the CATIA session"
