APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• PRINT / LINE AND EDGE WIDTH NOT IN
  CONFIRMITY WITH STANDARD WHEN VDCType =
  INTEGER PARAMETER FOR CGM.
  .
  SCENARIO:
  1. Open CATIA
  2. Go to tools / option /compatibility / Graphics
  Format
  3. Choose CGM and Click on configuration
  4. Select the parameters as shown in the image
  sent with the DOC
  5. Click on Printer setup and select 3Dplm printer
  to be added
  6. In driver select CGM (Computer Graphics
  Metafile)
  7. Click on advanced TAB, and select again the
  parameters as shown in the DOC (2nd time)
  8. Click on File /print and choose the printer just
  added.
  9. In the print to file select a path and the file name
  with extension CGM.
  10. Open the CGM in Metacheck and extract the
  report.
  .
  OBSERVATION:
  When we create  a CGM file with VDCType =
  INTEGER parameter, errors appears on LINE
  WIDTH and EDGE WIDTH. These errors are not in
  conformity with the standard CGM ISO 8632-3
  .
  EXPECTED RESULT:
  The line width and the edge with should be
  according to the standard CGM ISO 8632-3
  .
