Hello,
I am using Catia V5. I received a drawing in a zip file and after unzipping it the file was a read only. I created a copy of the drawing as to not risk altering the original and when I create a Draft, select Front view, move back to the model and no surfaces generate a preview and selecting on surfaces does nothing. Other models I have worked with I was able to hover over features until a preview popped up in the bottom right but this isn't doing that.
Am I doing something wrong or is the model forked?
Edit: I figured it out. I needed to select one of the coordinate planes that were hidden. Once I unhid the ZY plane I was able to hover over it and get the preview I was expecting.
