Problem conclusion

Temporary fix

Comments

• THE PROBLEM WAS SUBMITTED ON :
  CATIA VERSION 5 RELEASE 12.
  THIS PROBLEM IS NOT REPRODUCIBLE ON :
  CATIA VERSION 5 RELEASE 14 GA level AND ON
  V5R13SP04 AND V5R12SP07.
  Incident Diagnosis
  Code of "replace selected revision" used to work
  based on produst structure replace component,
  focused on instances. We now replace all links in
  session by the one to the new document.
  Answer and By-Pass:
  Disconnected constraints after replace are not
  corrected. The solution to have the entire problem
  solved is to work with publications.
