Comments

• THIS APAR IS CONSIDERED AS A SUGGESTION FOR IMPROVEMENT FOR
  CATIA.
   .
   INCIDENT DIAGNOSIS:
  After instanciating a Power-copy containing a Threaded
  Hole, thread parameters are lost in the new part.
  .
  For your information, you have the same problem through
  CCP of threaded holes or thread features.
   .
   JUSTIFICATION FOR DEVLOPMENT REQUEST:
  This a known restriction.
  Solve it on a service-pack of V5R8 or V5R9 has too much
  cost and risk.
  Moreover we need to change the data-structure.
  We need to guarantee downward data compatiblity
  between SP and GA.
  
  This restriction will be solved on
  the next release which is V5R10.
   .
   ANSWER AND POSSIBLE BY-PASS:
  Edit the hole after instanciation and re-specify the thread
  parameters.
