Scenes disappearing from the tree
Scenes disappearing from the tree
(OP)
Hi All, I'm using CATIA V5R22/SP05/HF00 on this one. I have a product which had about 8 scenes configured. At one point all the scenes disappeared from the tree. What it also did was to generate a "scenes" file in the folder where the product was saved and it is called the same as the product with a suffix of "_Scenes.CATfct". Did I perhaps change a setting somewhere along the way to cause this? Is there a way to retrieve the scenes from this "_Scenes.CATfct" file? I have stacks of drawing views dependant on these scenes and I cannot update my views as it takes on the full product with the scenes missing. Any ideas?

Do you check your Option settings?
Product Stucture - Tree Customization - Applications should be "Yes" . (See picture)

Thanks for the reply and sorry for my late reply.
I have a problem with my email address here on eng-tips and am not able to change it so i do not get notifications. I have asked eng-tips admin to take a look but no joy just yet.
Yes, I have checked my Catia settings as suggested and the Applications option is on. If i had to try create a new scene it will accept it and show it in the tree but, that wont help me now in this case as I would really like to get back those previous scenes.
I forgot to mention that it comes up with an error messaged too. This is it below.
If i create any new scene, it seems to save it but it still comes up with that error message. I also tried desk to find it but I cannot find it in the desk either.
Thank you,
(Will check in for updates every now and then when I have a free minute.)
RE: Scenes disappearing from the tree
I too use scenes to show the various assembly steps of a product and then link drawing views to those scenes. It's a huge setback when the scenes disappear. If anyone has any idea what causes this then please advise.
I've heard it has something to do with a Dassault resource file that's not exactly the same between releases that might be causing this issue.
Again, if anyone has any idea what causes this please share.
