HD32013: '2D-VIEW SECTION' MANIPULATOR ISN'T POSITIONED ON 'BANSEN'

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• < Summary >
  In some cases the '2D-View Section' manipulator is
  not positioned on the 'BANSEN' grid.
  And it is not possible to move the '2D-View Section'
  correctly by 'BANSEN' pitch(100mm)
  .
  When create '2D-View Section' fixed on 'xy plane'
  as 'Visualization plane' and 'Extrude.1' as 'Cut
  Element'.
  .
  If Cutting plane is 'yz plane' or 'Plane.1',
  '2D-View Section' manipulator is positioned on
  the 'BANSEN' grid
  If Cutting plane is 'Plane.2' or 'Fill.1',
  '2D-View Section' manipulator is not positioned
  on the 'BANSEN' grid
  .
  < Process >
  0) Start CATIA R14SP2.
  1) Open the file : 'CUST6466.CATPart'.
  Workbench : 'GSD'
  2) Click 'Insert 2D-View Section' icon.
  >>'2D-View Section Definition' window is
  displayed.
  3) Select 'xy plane' as 'Visualization plane'.
  Select 'Plane.2' as 'Cutting Plane'.
  (If 'Fill.1' is selected, the result is the same)
  Select 'Extrude.1' as 'Cut Element'.
  >>The shape of '2D-View section' is displayed
  in graphical area.
  4) Click 'Top View' in the View bar.
  >>'BANSEN' is displayed.
  >>'2D-View Section' manipulator is not positioned
  on the 'BANSEN' grid
  >>>This is problem.
  .
  5) Select right axis of 'Manipulator 2D' and drag to
  right.
  >>The manipulator is positioned on 'BANSEN' grid.
  >>But the shape of '2D-Section View' is not move
  by 'BANSEN' pitch (100mm).
  >>>This is also problem.
  .
  < Expected result >
  In any cases the '2D-View Section' manipulator
  should be positioned on the 'BANSEN' grid.
  And the '2D-View Section' should be moved
  by 'BANSEN' pitch(100mm)

Problem conclusion

• THIS PROBLEM WILL BE FIXED ON CATIA
  VERSION
  5 RELEASE 15 GA level.
  NOTE THAT THIS PROBLEM WILL ALSO BE
  FIXED
  ON V5R14SP04.

  Incident Diagnosis
  In some cases the '2D-View Section'
  manipulator is
  not positioned on the 'BANSEN' grid.
  And it is not possible to move the '2D-View
  Section'
  correctly by 'BANSEN' pitch (100mm)
  .
  Correction Explanation
  2D-view section:
  - visualization plane re-selection leads to
  wrong
  manipulators moves
  - alignment to Bansen line is not correct in
  certain
  cases
  - alignment to Bansen line is necessary
  when
  Bansen is current even though it is not
  visible,
  because it can become visible after 3D
  manipulation within the 2D-view section
  command
  .
  Answer and By-Pass
  All the problems are corrected
  By-pass:
  Select visualization plane once.
  Do not make Bansen visible when
  command is
  already running but before launching 2D-
  view
  section command.
