Working with the cache system allows you to load cgr representations of the 3D instead of the raw CATIA design data. It can help when working with large assemblies where you need to see a...

    Fast Catia Save file.....

    1. Tools > Generate CATPart from Product 2. You might look into exporting the entire big assembly as an stl or iges file just to get a small, manageable file in order to create the surrounding shield. 3. Uncheck "Load referenced documents" in Tools > Options > General tab and then only...

    Macro for sweeping a profile

    Sounds like you have a skeletal structure and you want to be able to sweep profiles around them all. You could spend a lot of time creating a macro, or you could create a power copy with the sweep, sketch, and sketch plane and then instantiate that powercopy on all segments of your skeletal...

    Assembly scene with section view

    @lcatg 1. In order to save section views in scenes you need an FTA license as ferdo mentioned. 2. A work around is to use a split to cut the parts needed to generate the drawing view. Then lock the drawing view and deactivate the split operation in the 3D. Drew Mumaw https://textsketcher.com/...
