    unload file/part from catia session

    In my experience, if you "unload" the part, the memory used by Catia is not going down. (memory leak) Therefore, I am shutting down catia every two hours.

    Sweep - pipe with mitre corners

    Hello, I'm trying to model a simple pipe (ie circular profile) with mitres corners. The centre curve is not continuous in tangency, nor planar. For a profile other than a circle, I understand that a reference surf or a pulling direction is required. But for circular profile, there is a simple...

    Drawings view with Broken links - several methods tried, need help.

    Yes exactly. But it could be painfull if you had selected a lot of parts... Is seems better to carry on using the scenes to create views. (rather than "view modify links" only)

    Drawings view with Broken links - several methods tried, need help.

    I've got the same type of problems : - I've created lot of views using the new function "Modify links" (right button on view/view/modify links). It's working very well. - I did some minor changes to my assemblies - I've got some "broken view". If I try to modify links, it says "The selected...

    Slow upload / performance of CATIA files

    Thanks Jim and Akesson for their help. I've asked for the 3Go switch to be applied in my compagny. But the IT people have answered me : "This is not an approved Microsoft switch and is not supported if it causes problems" Is it right ? Do Dassault Syst. recommend somewhere this manipulation ?

    View orientation

    In fact, I've found the parameter to be modified : drafting/layout/auxiliary and section views orientation according to profile It is modifying the default orientation for the auxiliary views.

    View orientation

    Do anybody know a way to choose the default orientation of a view ? Because, in a rotated a view all the center lines/axis/2 component are coming in the former orientation. It could be usefull to get these in the sheet orientation.

    V5 drawing from CGR / large assy

    To make drawing (even section cuts) of largy assy or CGR files, you can use the approximate drawing option : Option/mechanical design/drafting/view/view generation/approximate It will avoid a lot of crash and "command interrupted" ! (V5 can not deal with more than 1G/1.5G of memory)

    CATIA v4.2 to IGES Conversion

    Activation of CGR visulation with V5: Options: Infrastructure/product structure/cache management. All V5 models will be transformed automatically. This will save a lot of memory ! Very convenient for big assy vizu. (If somebody know how to extract some geometry(points/curves) from pure cgr...

    Extracting geometry from CGR

    Does anybody has already try to extract any point/surf/lines from .cgr models ? I've received models form a client in .cgr but then it's impossible to extract any infos except a visualization...
