HC86869: ASSEMBLY - INSTANCE NAME SHOULD NOT BE DISPLAYED IN SCENE TRE E STRUCTURE

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• .
  Instance name should not be displayed in scene tree
  structure for root
  assemblies.
  .
  Scenario;
  1) Start Catia V5R6 SP3
  2) Open the product '4587567,EC0001 ,R0.CATProduct'
  3) Double click in the scene 'Exploded'
  == The first branch in the tree is the product with the Part
  Number
  4587567. In parenthesis (My Assembly) is the initial name of
  the
  assembly before being renamed. But this name does mean
  anything and is
  not related to a property of the product.
  Nothing should be displayed in parenthesis.
  
  ABSTRACT: ASSEMBLY - Instance name should not be displayed
  in scene tree
  
  
  Hello Bert,
     Here is the result of our investigations. First of all,
  the name of
  an object is always composed of two elements:
            - The Part Number
            - The Instance Name (between parenthesis)
  So this name means something '''' You can point on the same
  instance
  two  or X times under a same product. So the Part Number
  will be
  diferent but not the Instance Name. Now this is true that
  you don't
  need to have those informations for the root product. This
  screen
  apearance is customizable in
  TOOLS/OPTIONS/INFRASTRUCTURE/PRODUCT
  STRUCTURE/NODES CUSTOMIZATION, modifying Node Display to
  "customized
  display".
  Thanks for your comprehension.
  Best Regards, Pierre.
  
  
  
  Dassault, please see and review Alains response that
  follows.
  Pierre, Thank you for your explanation. I understand that
  the Node
  Display can be customized. However, your proposal does not
  solve the
  problem.
  1- An instance name on a root assembly does not have any
  meaning in
  general and should never be displayed whatever is the Node
  Display
  customization (ref: PMR  06960, APAR HC76346 already been
  open and fixed
  by Dassault). Actually, the product does not have an
  instance name
  the scene. An instance name should not appear on a root
  product within
  a scene.
  2 - On the particular example provided with the PMR, the
  instance name
  (My Assembly) displayed in the scene tree is not link to a
  Part Number
   or an Instance Name! Why is the string 'My Assembly'
  displayed? Where
  is this string coming from?
  Please open a new APAR to address this problem.
