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. |
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. |

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. |
