HD49947: SIZE ABNORMALLY DIFFERENT FROM FILES CGM GENERATED IN V4 AND V5 WITH THE SAME PARAMETERS

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Size abnormally different from files CGM generated
  in V4 and V5 with the same parameters.
  Working with a CGM version 1 on a same CATIA V4
  model the size of the generated CGM file is bigger
  in V5 than V4 (factor between 5 to 10).
  CATIA V4
  Use the PLOT Function with a specific CGM driver:
  PLOTSG10.plot_cfg
  1 ﾨ Scale = 1.0
  2 ﾨ Manual selection of the imageﾨs frame (Sheet 1)
  3- Select the CGM printer
  4- Print execute
  CATIA V5
  Print function with specific CGM driver :
  PLOTSG10.xml
  1 ﾨ Select the CGM Printer
  2 ﾨ Manual selection of the imageﾨs frame (Print
  Area)
  3 ﾨ Print execute : OK
  CGM V4 file =  1 Ko
  CGM V5 file = 10 Ko
  .

Problem conclusion

• THIS PROBLEM WILL BE FIXED ON CATIA VERSION 5
  RELEASE 17 GA level.
  Incident Diagnosis
  size abnormally different from files CGM generated
  in V4 and V5 with the same parameters
  Correction Explanation
  Use of exact HLR instead of Polyhedric HLR.
  Now the user has the choice to force the polyhedral
  mode during print through Print - Options - Various -
  Rendering mode: Hidden line Removal
  "Use 3D Accuracy" to generate file of smaller size
  .
