Error description
1. Attached is a sample model in which replicates the problems we're seeing with disappearing connectors. 2. This model is a very simple car model with four wheels, an engine, and a drive train on the Model 1 BDD. 3. On the Top Level IBD a connector is created between the wheels (part with multiplicity of 4) and the drive train. 4. Four additional parts are defined on the Top Level Bdd each with a multiplicity of 1, typed with the Wheel block, to represent each wheel based on its position (front/back and left/right). 5. On the Detailed IBD each of these 4 wheel parts are placed on the diagram along with the engine and the drive train. 6. From the Layout menu a 'complete all relations' is done, and the connector defined earlier (connector_4) between the drive train and the itsWheel wheel part appears between Drive Train and one of the 4 wheel parts. This connector should not have been completed. 7. After saving, closing and reopening the model, then the model, that connector disappears but is added back again when I do complete all relations. Our suspicion is that the connector is referenced to the Block port vs. the part port in the complete all relations action. But when re-rendering the drawing after a reopen the logic uses the part and not the block to draw it and thus removes it, or can't draw it. In this simple model it is easy to see and understanding. When you a drawing a more complex diagram in a model with many more connectors and use the complete all feature, from a user's point of view it appears to be correct, because you do not want to reuse any existing connectors. Only to find out that some of your work is missing when the model is reloaded at a later point. Another important fact is this behavior is not seen if the model was created new in the 7.5.2.1 release. However, when a model is created in 7.5 and then the model is update to 7.5.2.1 this behavior is observed in both 7.5 and 7.5.2.1.
