HD07363: INCORRECT IGES LINE THICKNESS FOR VERY THIN LINES

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• DESCRIPTION:
  Incorrect IGES line thickness for very thin lines
  
  STEP BY STEP SCENARIO:
  1. Run CATIA V5 in admin mode
  2. Tools / Standard
  3. Category : Drafting
  4. Select ISO
  5. Go to Linethickness
  6. In the 1 change 0.13 to 0.01
  7. New Drawing
  8. Create simple line
  9. Select 0.01 as the line width
  10. Save is as IG2
  11. Open the IGES file with text editor
  12. Note that Global paramter 16 = 2000
  13. Note that Global paramter 17 = 2
  14. Note that line width for element 110 is 50.
  15. Therefore the linewidth of the line is 0.05
  instead of 0.01 -> this is the problem
  
  .
