HD11291: PARTDESIGN / INSTANTIATION FAILURE OF POWERCOPY WITH CHAMFER OR EDGE FILLET :" DESTINATION IS NOT VALID " ERROR

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• A power copy from a chamber or from an edge
  fillet cannot be instantiated.
  .
  Scenario from scratch :
  --------------------------
  1. create arbitrary pad
  2. Create chamfer on one edge
  3. Insert-> Advanced Replication Tools-> Power
  Copy
  4.Select the Chamfer.1 in tree
  5. Instantiate the created powercopy by selecting
  another edge
  == "Instantiation cannot be performed. The
  destination is not valid" error occurs.
  .
  Remarks :
  - On step.4, on previous CATIA levels, this
  powercopy could not even be created : this error
  message occured at creation :
  "Error in definition :
  -Some element could not be replaced during
  instantiation. Include them in the powercopy to
  avoid this problem.
  CstEdgeRibbon.1 (ObjectList) does not implement
  replace for Pad.1\Edge.1"
  .
  - Same problem happens with Edge fillet, but in
  the documentation no restriction about the creation
  of power copy with chamfers and fillets has been
  found.
  
  .
  

Local fix
