I have a part I open in V5 and the tree opens fine but im getting no picture.. I tried to do a fit all in and nothing in the tree is hidden? Any ideas?

Are the links broken? (are the little gears in the tree cracked, and/or colored gray?)

No all the links are fine.. nothing is broken, hidden or missing.
 

I don't know the specifics of your case, but sometimes when you import files from a neutral format, the geometry comes in all black, or some other color. The only thing that I can think of, is that you can do a zoom "fit all in", and try dragging a window around your geometry.

Is this a part, product, or other? Is it native data or neutral? What version of Catia?

Open the tree and right clic, 'reframe on' some element...

Also check if Filters are in use...( Tools / Visualization filters...

Ok I fixed it.. I went in my C drive and followed the path to the cat settings folder and renamed it to catsettings.old and that fixed it
 
Next time it happens, try going to VIEW, GEOMETRY. Make sure it is checked.

This stupid setting can actually turn your geometry window OFF. Confuses the @#$% out of people.
