Problem conclusion

• THIS PROBLEM IS PERMANENT RESTRICTION IN
  CATIA
  Incident Diagnosis :
  To delete the Publication in CATPart, the Product
  status becomes Modified in the save management
  due to synchronization with refernce Part at open.
  .
  Restriction Explanation :
  The data model is shown as follows:
  Product
  |
  |_Part( instance)------->Part refernce
  .
  Product aggregates instance of Part.
  Now we are modifying part reference by deleting
  publication in it outside of the Product context.
  .
  At this time Product is aggregating Part instance
  which is modified at reference level.
  .
  So when we open Product, by synchronization
  process we manage these changes in the part
  instance when Part reference gets loaded in the
  session.
  Hence the Product becomes modified.
  This is normal behavior in CATIA for instance-
  refernce modeling.
  .
  By-Pass
  Manage Publication at the Assembly level.
  .
