Hi All,
My co-worker is missing the view name in the tree and on the drawing in the drafting workbench. In the TOOLS-OPTIONS-DRAFTING-LAYOUT VIEW NAME, SCALE FACTOR, AND VIEW FRAME are all selected. When going to the individual view properties under VIEW tab VIEW NAME boxes are empty. All I can think of is a link is broken somewhere but we can't figure it out. Could someone please help!!! THANKS

Does it look okay when opened on a different pc? Will it allow you to add a name to the view? Can you post the file or a few screen shots?
 
rickyt,

It does this on bot new drawings and existing drawings. He and I can open the same file and mine will be fine but his will be missing the view names in the tree, the face of the drawing, and the view properties. He can type the view name in to the VIEW NAME WITH FORMULA box in the view properties and it will show up just fine in the drawing tree and face of the drawing. below are the screen shots.

Hi.

I suggest checking .CATNls files as they contain all texts displayed in CATIA's user interface.
 
GOT IT FIXED. For some reason his CATIA wasn't liking his CATView.Nls file after we modified it to make the view names all capitalized to be the same as mine. We replaced it with mine and it WORKS! Thanks guys!
