HE07132: FT&A GEOMETRICAL TOLERANCE SEPARATOR SETTING IS NOT DISPLAYED PR OPERLY ON BEING CALLED UP IN KNOWLEDGE ADVISOR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Scenario:
  1. Launch CATIA.
  2. Functional Tolerancing and Annotations WB.
  3. Tools > Options > Mechanical Design > Functional
  Tolerancing and Annotations > Tolerances > Geometric
  Tolerance > Separator. Set ?.? OR "," as separator.
  4. Insert > Annotations > Tolerencing > Geometric Tolerence.
  5. Input value ?4.5?
  6. Insert > Annotations > Tolerencing > Geometric Tolerence.
  7. Input value ?4,5?.
  8. Knowledge Advisor WB.
  9. Create Rule :
  let l_GT1 (length)
  let l_GT2 (length)
  let s_GT (String)
  l_GT1  = `Annotation Set.1\Geometrical Tolerance.1` .GDTValue
  l_GT2  = `Annotation Set.1\Geometrical Tolerance.2` .GDTValue
  s_GT = ( ToString ( l_GT1  ) +"   " + ToString ( l_GT2 ))
  Message ( s_GT )
  10. Run the rule created.
  Result:
  1. With Regional Settings English (US) ? 4.5   4
  2. With Regional Settings Germany (Germany) ? 4   4,5
  Expected Result:
  The Rule Message being displayed should be same with any
  Regional Settings.
  Also the Values being called up should depend on the
  separator being set.

Problem conclusion

• NOTE THAT THIS PROBLEM WILL BE FIXED ON V5R21 SP1.
  Additional Closure Information:
  INCIDENT DIAGNOSIS:
  Use of ".GDTValue" failed in Knowledgeware implementation.
  CLOSURE DESCRIPTION:
  Both the annotations used in the scenario are of Non-Semantic
  Type.
  
  Display of Non-Semantic type annotations in Knowledgeware
  implementation neither depends on Regional Settings nor it
  can depend on Separator set in Tools > Options.
  For Semantic annotations, the Display in Knowledgeware
  implementation depends on Regional Settings and not on Tools
  > Options set.
  To call Semantic annotations, use the service ".GDTValue".
  To call Non-Semantic annotations, use the service
  ".GDTValueString".
  DOCUMENTAION:
  For Semantic and Non-Semantic annotations, refer the
  documentation "CATIA | Mechanical | 3D Functional Tolerancing
  & Annotation | Reference Information | Concepts |
  Non-Semantic and Semantic Usage"
