• Closed as program error.

Error description

• FTA / INCORECT DISPLAY OF EXTENSION LINE
  .
  1 Open attached CATPart.
  Workbench: Functional Tolerancing & Annotation.
  .
  // In the case of XY plane. //
  2 Click Front View/Annotation Plane icon.
  3 Select XY plane on the geometry area.
  =>Front View.1 is created.
  4 Click Dimensions icon.
  5 Select 1 face in the solid on the geometry area.
  6 Select 1 face in the solid on the geometry area.
  7 Click somewhere on the geometry area 3 times.
  =>Dimension.1 is created.
  8 Move Dimension.1.
  =>One of the extension line of dimension departs
  from geometry. This is problem.
  .
  // In the case of YZ plane. //
  9 Click Front View/Annotation Plane icon.
  10 Select YZ plane on the geometry area.
  =>Front View.2 is created.
  11 Click Dimensions icon.
  12 Select 1 face in the solid on the geometry area.
  13 Select 1 face in the solid on the geometry area.
  14 Click somewhere on the geometry area 3 times.
  Dimension.2 is created.
  15 Move Dimension.2. The extension line of
  dimension departs from geometry.
  >>>This is problem.
  .
  < Result >
  The extension line of dimension depart from
  geometry when the faces of solid are
  measured.This is problem.
  .
  < Result to expect >
  The extension line of dimension should touch
  geometry in all case. Because contact is setting as
  standard.

Problem conclusion

• THIS PROBLEM WILL BE FIXED ON CATIA
  VERSION
  5 RELEASE 18 GA level.
  NOTE THAT THIS PROBLEM WILL ALSO BE
  FIXED
  ON V5R17SP01 AND ON V5R16SP06.
  .
  Incident Diagnosis:
  In some specific conditions, FTA dimension
  algorithm calculating dimension between
  two planes fails to point extension lines to
  the referenced geometry. In given cases
  the current algorithm unable to point
  extension line to the top and bottom of
  given Part.
  .
  Correction Explanation:
  Now the algorithm is corrected. The
  modified algorithm is corrected so as to
  give correct representation of extension line.
  .
  Answer and bypass.
  No bypass available.
  .
