Error description

• Drafting (GenDraft) / MODIFY PART AND UPDATE
  DRAWING, DIMENSIONS MOVE
  SCENARIO:
  .
  1. Open CATIA V5.

  3. Open attached CATPart and modify Pad length.
  (e.g. Length 3mm to 5mm )
  4. Update drawing.
  .
  RESULTS OBTAINED:
  .
  Dimension moves from one hole to another.
  .
  EXPECTED RESULTS:

Problem conclusion

• THIS PROBLEM WILL BE FIXED ON CATIA VERSION
  5 RELEASE 20GA and 19 SP03 LEVEL.
  INCIDENT DIAGNOSIS:
  .
  Drafting (GenDraft) / MODIFY PART AND UPDATE
  DRAWING, DIMENSIONS MOVE
  .
  CORRECTION EXPLANATION:
  .
  The generic naming of the instances of circular
  pattern is same on R17, hence on selection of one
  edge/face of the instance, edge/face of another
  instance was also getting selected. This problem
  occurred due to existence of a confusion point in
  the definition of User Pattern (Confusion point
  means a point in the positioning sketch of pattern
  that coincides with the object to pattern position).
  .
  A new cleaner rule has been created to solve this
  problem. After the cleaning action, the generic
  name of the instances of circular pattern is unique
  hence they can be selected independently. This
  also corrects the problem of dimensions moving in
  the drafting which are set on these instances.
  .
  ANSWER AND BY-PASS:
  .
  In order to have fixed dimension on R19SP03, user
  need to clean data by CATDUA and update the
  drawing first and create new dimensions otherwise
  delete and re-create User Pattern and circular
  Pattern in the CATPart.
