Comments

• INCIDENT DIAGNOSIS:
  Save/Save as  is not possible if the source file of the
  document we are trying to save has been deleted by another
  process/ explorer.
  .
  CORRECT APPLICATION:
  It is strictly forbidden to delete with Windows Explorer (or
  by any mean) a document that is loaded in Session. This
  restriction applies to most applications.
  Internally, CATIA is performing selective loading: it loads in
  memory just the
  require amount of data from the file. If later additional data
  is required, it will re-access
  file to update the memory view.
  For example: Electrical Data are loaded when you are working
  in Electrical Workbench.
  .
  There is no documentation detailing a file in use by CATIA
  must no be deleted.
  This has not to be documented since this is a basic restriction
  applying to most software.
