This page deals with the following products:
Measure Item vs mass computation improvement |
Measure Item takes advantage of the improvements made to the mass computation precision on the R18 level. Consequently, measure item results on a same CATPart vary between R17 and R18 levels. |
Knowledgeware rule-based clash computation for SDD Design Units or SFD Systems |
If you want to launch a
knowledgeware rule-based clash computation under the following
circumstances:
Make sure the SddDesignUnit or SfdSystem objects are saved in ENOVIA in work packages (black box). |
Multi-CPU computer mode and clash calculation |
Multi-CPU computer mode
(designed to distribute the clash calculation among processors) is no
longer activated by default because it could lead to serious problems.
Workaround: It is still supported but is only available on request (we provide a specific variable for those who want to continue to work in multi-CPU computer mode). |
Exporting section results in VRML format
|
To view the section results in a browser that is different from the CATIA dedicated viewer, change the background color of that browser. |

Measuring geometry & inertia
|
Measures made using Measure Between, Measure Item, and Measure Inertia take all items into account even those located in the No Show space. |
Measure Inertia
|
The center of gravity value
result differs depending on the command you are using (Measure Inertia
or Measure Item). This is a standard behavior because:
|
Measure Between
|
Workaround: Use Any geometry, infinite mode for Measure Between. |
Measuring distances (Measure Between) in the Section viewer
|
Workaround: To measure distances between centers of arcs, set the Selection mode to Arc center. |
Measures (Item and Between) and 3D XML |
In 3D XML format, when you save
a product containing Measure Between or Measure Item that is stored in a
complex DMU Review structure (with sub-reviews), the measures between
are also saved in the 3D XML file. However, when you reopen the 3D XML file, the Measure Between is created in a default DMU Review but the complex DMU Review structure is not retained. |

This issue will be corrected on
a forthcoming SP level:
|
Measure Item |
When you perform a measure on a solid (for example, a pad), the measure value is the one of the whole Part Body document (The selected object is not taken into account for the measure calculation). Therefore, the measure result is incorrect. |
Sectioning and CATDrawing documents |
This issue will be corrected on
a forthcoming SP Level:
The current V5 session is inadvertently terminated under the
following circumstances:

Sectioning and CATAnalysis documents |
To take advantage of sectioning capabilities in a CATAnalysis document, open the linked CATProduct before running the sectioning command. |
