Problem conclusion

Temporary fix

Comments

• THE PROBLEM WAS SUBMITTED ON :
  CATIA VERSION 5 RELEASE 16.
  THIS PROBLEM IS NOT REPRODUCIBLE ON :
  CATIA VERSION 5 RELEASE 18 GA level
  .
  Additional Information;
  Correction needs development at LUM side which
  will be then need to integrated in CATIA code. The
  patch to deal with this scenario was delivered by
  LUM lab on 4.6.8.008 release.
  The SDK (Software Development Kit) of this latest
  pacth by LUM(4.6.8.8) is different than the earlier
  one for which CATIA is designed. This new SDK is
  not compatible with R16 or R17 design. The
  compiler level/options used in this SDK is not
  compatible with R16/R17. Therefore, integration of
  this solution on R16 or R17 level is not feasible.
  Such change in compiler level/options used in SDK
  is only feasible at a GA opened level. Taking into
  consideration the huge modification required in
  basic infrastructure it  would not either be possible
  to deliver it on an already distributed release on
  SP. We never change the licensing layer in a
  Service Pack.
  From the explanations above we can clearly
  conclude that a HF correction is not feasible,
  neither a correction on SP on R16 or R17.
  Now R18 level cointains the latest patch form LUM
  i.e. 4.6.8.9
  .
