HD17363: SHAPE DESIGN : THE REFERENCE GEOMETRY BECOMES UNPICKABLE FROM G RAPHICS AREA

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Summary of problem:
  'Reference Location.1' can be selected from
  specification tree, but is unpickable in graphical
  area. this is problem.
  .
  < Reproduction >
  1. Start CATIA V5
  2. Open the provided Part1.CATPart
  Workbench : 'GSD'.
  3. Sel 'Reference Location.1' in the unfold 'Mating
  Flange.1' in specification tree.
  >> confirm that 'Reference Location.1' is pickable.
  4. Click anywhere in graphics area.
  5. Sel the geometry of 'Reference Location.1' in
  graphics area.
  >> 'Reference Location.1' is unpickable in graphics
  area.
  >>> this is the problem.
  .
  < Desired Result >
  'Reference Location.1' is expected to be pickable in
  both specification tree and graphics area.
  .
  < Remarks >
  A by-pass is illustrated as follows:
  1. Choose the 'Properties' command from the
  contextual menu of  'Reference Location.1'.
  2. Activate the option of 'Pickable' in 'Graphic' tab
  of 'Properties' definition box.
  3. Click OK button.
  4. Sel the geometry of 'Reference Location.1' in
  graphics area.
  >> 'Reference Location.1' becomes pickble.

Problem conclusion

• THIS PROBLEM WILL BE FIXED ON CATIA VERSION
  5 RELEASE 14 GA level.
  NOTE THAT THIS PROBLEM WILL ALSO BE FIXED
  ON V5R13SP02.
  .
  Incident Diagnosis
  Wrong properties management on reference
  location
  .
  Correction Explanation
  There has been a problem in the mating flange
  software.
  .
  Answer and By-Pass
  The problem is fixed now. OK from now for new
  created mating flange (the mating flange must be
  created again in order to take benefit of this
  correction). The Reference Location element is
  pickable now.
  By-pass : for the existing mating flange, pick
  attribut has to be manually changed.
