Error description

• ABSTRACT:
  =========
  THREADED HOLES BADLY DIMENSIONED AFTER A CIRCULAR PATTERN
  
  
  SCENARIO:
  =========
  First step: Draw a plate.
  1. Open "part design".
  2. Select a plan.
  3. Open the sketcher.
  4. Draw a rectangle (300mm x 300mm).
  5. Use the + Pad ; function to give the rectangle a
  thickness of 20 mm.
  
  Second step: First hole.
  1. Select the "Hole" function.
  2. Place the hole in the centre of the plate (150 x 150).
  3. The hole is "up to last" without thread (let say that its
  diameter is equal to 20 mm).
  Third step: Second hole.
  1. Select the "Hole" function.
  2. Place the hole approximately (150mm x 150mm form one of
  the angle
  of the plate, so that the hole has the same x-axis as the
  first hole
  and a y-axis of 50mm).
  3. The hole is "up to last" without thread (let say that its
  diameter is equal to 20 mm).
                    1. Select the "hole" function.
                    2. Place it above the second hole with the sam
  e y-axis (let     say 150
                    x 80).
                    3. The hole is M20 "up to last" threaded hole.
                    Step five: First "circular pattern".
                    1. select "circular pattern":
                    - Instance: 3
                    - Angular spacing: 120ﾪ
  
  - Reference element: the second hole
  - Object to pattern: the third hole
  Sixth step: Second "circular pattern".
  1. select "circular pattern":
  - Instance: 4
  - Angular spacing: 90ﾪ
  - Reference element: the first hole
  - Object to pattern: the first circular pattern
  Seventh step: 2D.
  1. Open a "Drawing".
  2. "Tile horizontally".
  3. "Use the front view" function to select the front view
  and
  project it in the 2D.
  4. Notice that all the thread are correctly symbolised.
  5. But when you dimension them, the threaded holes of the
  first
  circular pattern are well dimensioned (M20) and the ones
  from the
  second circular pattern are badly dimensioned (with the
  diameter
  symbol).
  

Local fix

Problem summary

•  INCIDENT DIAGNOSIS:
  Thread standard is not correctly displayed when dimensioning
   a hole
  that is the result of a pattern of a pattern of a hole.
  

Problem conclusion

• THIS PROBLEM WILL BE FIXED ON
    CATIA VERSION 5 RELEASE 10 GA level.
  NOTE THAT THIS PROBLEM WILL ALSO BE FIXED ON V5R9SP01.
  
   TECHNICAL EXPLANATION FOR THE CORRECTION:
  Pattern operator was taken into account only on first level.
  
   ANSWER AND POSSIBLE BY-PASS:
  Patterns are now supported recursively.
  

Temporary fix
