Managing CATDrawing Documents in ENOVIAVPM | If you use the command
Load PDM Context in ENOVIAVPM context with
VPM 1.5PTF18, a new CATProduct will be
created in V5, instead of the assembly data
being loaded in the CATProduct which is
already opened and linked to the CATDrawing.
On this level, use the following
methodology: do not open the CATProduct
before using the command Load PDM Context on
the CATDrawing. This behavior is corrected on VPM 1.5PTF19 and later PTFs. |
Dimensions upper text | For ANSI or ASME drawings created with V5R7SP1 or earlier: existing dimensions upper text may swap from edge to center. |
Dimension line/Extension line thickness | For drawings created with
R6GA and R6SP1, dimensions thickness may
change when opening the drawing. Workaround: To bypass this problem, go to Edit > Search. In the Advanced tab, select Drafting for the workbench and Dimension for the type, and click the Search button. Select the dimensions to modify and click OK. In the contextual menu, choose Properties, and then in the Dimension line tab, set the line thickness. |
Section views | Patterns are not applied to sections which are tangent to 3D faces. |
Annotation thickness | When swapping from one
CATDrawing document based on a standard
containing thicknesses definition (standards
created or updated in V5R9 or on a higher
level), to a CATDrawing document based on a
standard that does not contain thicknesses
definition, the first display of this second
drawing may sometimes show incorrect
annotation thicknesses (dimensions, datum
features leaders, datum target leaders and
roughness symbol leaders). The following
displays will show correct thicknesses. Workarounds: To handle the problem, the recommended methods are the following: just activate (or deactivate) the Analysis Display Mode and Create Detected Constraints icons. Or, use the Force Update command (enter: c: Force Update in the Power Input field), if you do not mind updating generated views. Even more efficient, just upgrade the standard to a level containing thicknesses definition. To do that, just click the Update button available in the Page Setup dialog box. |
Dimension and dress-up parameters | In versions prior to
V5R14, when using styles parameters such as
leader symbols or head/tail arrows symbols,
SymetricCircle and Circle were inverted. For
instance, when choosing SymetricCircle in
styles, the annotation was displayed with
Circle extremity and when choosing Circle in
styles, the annotation was displayed with
SymetricCircle extremity.
Example when creating annotation with
SymetricCircle as parameter: Symbols Circle and SymetricCircle were inverted when creating the following annotations:
Symbols Circle and Symetric Circle were not inverted when creating the following annotations:
We advise you to check in the standard files the symbols specified for the annotations mentioned in the first list:
Note that only newly created annotations listed above will be impacted. Those created with versions prior to V5R14 will not. |

Views of products having layer filters activated | When updating views of a
product whose visualization has been
filtered using “Layer filters”, the view
will represent the filtering of the product
that was active the last time the product
parts were saved. In order to take benefit of a change in the filtering of the product (either after a change of part layers, or a change of the filter itself) it is required that the parts be saved with this new filtering active. |

Representation of fillets in Drafting views obtained by copying-pasting As Result the CATIA V4 solid |
Fillet surfaces do not exist as such in
CATIA V4 models. As a result, in Drafting views obtained by copying-pasting As Result the CATIA V4 solid, fillets cannot be represented using the following representation types: Symbolic, Approximated Original Edges, Project Original Edges. They can only be represented using the Boundaries representation type. You can workaround this by copying-pasting As Spec the CATIA V4 solid to a CATIA V5 part. |

V4/V5 Standard Mapping | During a 2D conversion V4
to V5, V4 annotations and V4 dimensions are
migrated in V5 with the same property as V4
or according the V5 2D standard defined in a
*.XML file. V4 2D standard defined in the V4 project file can not be converted as a *.XML file. The following document was created to help V4 customers to set all V5
parameters in this file before starting 2D
migration. |
