Comments

• THIS PROBLEM WILL BE FIXED ON CATIA VERSION
  5 RELEASE 18 GA level.
  .
  Incident diagnosis:
  1. The problem as seen in the data, is coming from
  way of  color management for non-hybrid bodies
  (reproduced here, after the "Translate" operation
  on the pad): the blue face is exported as green.
  2. During export, the IGES translator asks to some
  V5 methods which color must be exported (answer -
  green) instead of blue on one face of this case (the
  real color is lost after the translate operation)
  .
  Development Request Justification:
  1.Management of properties at export must be
  migrated on new method, using CGR data, that
  give exactly the color seen on the screen,
  whatever the kind of V5 elements and the
  operations done on it.
  2.This is a development with a very large impact
  (about functionnalities and performances) and
  dependancies.
