Hi every one,
I'm facing the following funny problem with CATIA:
I've created a parameter type surface ,whose formula is below specified,
using the CATIA dictionary with the surface constructor loft that takes as argumetns
two lists, the sections and the orientatios ones:
loft(List.1,List.2)Text

The problem is that when I remove or add any element (section) in the sections list the surface can't be updated.
If I initially use a list containig two sections to define the loft surface it will be forever associated to these original two sections even if I remove all elements in the associated list.

I count on you my colleagues !

Alexandre,


I too have replicated your problem.

I shall see if I can come up with a workaround.

It seems that if you go back to the surface.1 = loft(list1,list2)

and manually overtype list1 then select it updates as expected.

Mmmh!!!

Johnson,

Thanks. In fact your tip did work, but my questions are:
Is it the only way to do it ? Is it an expected behaviour of CATIA ?
Should we report a bug to DS ?


Cheers,

Alexandre

I think it is a bug.

I would report it to DS.
