    Saving multiple drawing sheets to single CGM - Catia V5

    thread560-104913 Hello! So far my morning is not going well... Our customer is requiring us to send them our main assembly 2d drawing as a single CGM file. It has 4 sheets. I can save them all individually, but I cannot figure out how to save them as one multipage file. I've tried to change...

    Why won't Catia play nice with GD&T? - Getting the datum to stick where I want it.

    I can't get CATIA to put the datum leader where it should go. Please take a look at the attached picture. The left side is what I am trying to get with the datum leader attached to the dimension. When I click on the dimension to place the leader it just goes to the edge of the circle (right...

    Show detail view as solid in drawing.

    For regular views you can show them as solid by going to "properties->view->view generation mode" and choosing raster and picking shading under options. I created a zoomed detail view. When I go to do the same steps, there are no options other than "exact view" under "view generation mode"...

    Showing a part/subcomponent as mirrrored without creating new files?

    This question is related to the symmetry function of CATIA v5. We have some thermistor wires that are the same part in the real world. In the CAD they are routed symmetrically from each other. I want to show the second part in the right place/orientation, but without creating a new part...
