HD80958: Drafting (GenDraft) / Dimension value between same entities of t wo different section views are different

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Drafting (GenDraft) / Dimension value between
  same entities of two different section views are
  different
  .
  SCENARIO:
  .
  1. Start CATIA V5.
  2. Open Drawing1.CATDrawing.
  3. On B-B Section, create Intersection point
  between line and circle.
  4. On B-B Section, Create dimension by Centre line
  and Intersection point.
     >> 0.75 dimension is created.
  5. On A-A Section, create Intersection point
  between same entities.
  6. On A-A Section, Create dimension by Centre line
  and Intersection point.
  .
  RESULTS OBTAINED:
  .
  0.78 length dimension is created instead of 0.75.
  .
  EXPECTED RESULT:
  .
  As intersection point has been created between two
  same entities the dimension should be same.
  .

Problem conclusion

• THIS PROBLEM WILL BE FIXED ON Virtual Design  VERSION V5R21
  GA level.
  NOTE THAT THIS PROBLEM WILL ALSO BE FIXED ON V5R20 SP3.
  Additional Closure Information:
  Incident Diagnosis:
  Dimension value between same entities of two different
  section views are different
  .
  DEVELOPMENT REQUEST JUSTIFICATION:
  .
  An intersection point consists in a 2D point which is
  involved in 2 coincidence constraints. Being
  both coincident with 2 geometries, it is by definition,
  located at the intersection of the 2 elements.
  In the provided scenario, the intersection point was
  erroneously created as only one coincidence constraint was
  created. The coincidence with the cone intersection was not
  created, leading to a
  point arbitrary positioned. As a consequence, the dimension
  value was not relevant.
