HD51469: FTA - MULTIPLE VERTEXES ARE HIGHLIGHTED WHEN 1 VERTEX IS SELECT ED

APAR status

• Closed as Permanent restriction.

Error description

• FTA - The problem is that multiple vertexes are
  highlighted when the 1 vertex in the "Sketch" is
  selected by "Dimensions".
  Scenario:
  1) Select "Tools" / "Options" by menu bar.
  2) Select "Functional Tolerancing and Annotation"
  3) Select "Tolerancing" tab.
  4) Activate the "Non-semantic dimension creation
  allowed".
  5) Click "OK".
  6) Open the CATPart file - Workbench FTA
  7) Click "Dimensions" icon.
  8) Select 1 vertex in the "Sketch.1" on the
  geometry area.
  The vertex which has not been selected is
  highlighted too : this is problem.
  9) Select "Point.1".
  Dimension is created to other vertex location.
  Result :
  Multiple vertexes are highlighted when the 1 vertex
  in the "Sketch" is selected by "Dimensions". So the
  dimension of expectation is not created.
  Expected result :
  The only selected vertex should be highlighted
  when the 1 vertex in the "Sketch" is selected
  by "Dimensions".

Problem conclusion

• THIS PROBLEM IS PERMANENT RESTRICTION IN
  CATIA
  Incident Diagnosis
  When selecting a point, both points are selected
  Restriction Explanation
  The problem is that, internal vertices are
  identified by their neighbor edges (or faces in
  surface objects)
  Here, all the limit elements are the same, so
  points can not be selected separately.
  The same thing applies on vertices of a volume if
  an extrude is made from this sketch: top vertices
  can not be selected separately.
  By-Pass
  Split one of the two sketch elements into two
  elements.
