HD10899: POWERCOPY WITH SETS OF PARAMETERS OR RELATIONS

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• During the command a powercopy is instantiated
  within a part.
  We use the CATIUdfInstantiate::SetDestinationPath
  method to set the complete path of the destination
  part.
  This normally works ok. But if we use sets of
  parameters or sets of relations within the
  powercopy definition we get two problems:
  .
  1. If we use CAA method
  CATIUdfInstantiate::Instantiate to instantiate the
  powercopy all features are instantiated within the
  destination part but the parameter sets and the
  relation sets defined in the powercopy are
  instantiated within the current ui-active product
  document. --> NOT ok !
  
  2. If the destination does not have any sets for
  parameters or relations the parameter and relation
  sets defined in the powercopy are not instantiated.
  This problem can also be seen within the
  interactive CATIA V5:
  .
  SCENARIO:
  - File/Open the attached
  document "PartWithPowerCopyAndSets.CATPart" to
  reproduce the problem.
  ==> The document containts a powercopy.
  - Edit the powercopy: The powercopy definition
  containts the sets "MyParameters"
  and "MyRelations".
  - Close the document.
  - Create a new part.
  - Instantiate the powercopy defined
  in "PartWithPowerCopyAndSets.CATPart".
  ==> The sets "MyParameters" and "MyRelations"
  are not instantiated (they are renamed ?)

Problem conclusion

• THIS PROBLEM WILL BE FIXED ON CATIA VERSION 5 RELEASE 13 GA lev
  el.
  NOTE THAT THIS PROBLEM WILL ALSO BE FIXED ON V5R12SP03.
  .
   Incident Diagnosis
  The first problem is corrected.
  If you use CATIUdfInstantiate::SetDestinationPath,
  the destination is now taken into account for
  relation set and parameter set.
  For the second point, it is PRS. The first parameter
  set is always named Parameters and the first
  relation set is always named Relations.
  .
   Correction Explanation
  Problem partially corrected (see above).
  .
   Answer and By-Pass
  None
  
  .
