Catia V5 drafting view error
(OP)
When doing a section view on the drawing I get a small red "X" in the view and that´s it no section. Anybody came across that? What´s the problem?

RE: Catia V5 drafting view error
At R13, the section view Red X problem went away, but we are now seeing it occasionally on Projection Views. Usually running a CATDUA on all of the parts fixes it.
Are you running with VPM? If so, another thing that may cause the Red X prolem is parts with Slashes in their Part Name (not Part Number, but Part Name). Somehow, R13 doesn't like this very well. I can't verify this yet, but it is something to look for.

I'm not sure where the problem is but probably Catia memeory management and/or Windows memory limitation.
There's three things I would try:
1. Increase memory to 2Gb
2. If using XP Pro, increase memory to 3Gb and rebuild XP for using 3Gb data segment. You'll need to rebuild Catia too.
3. Create a sectioned model of the largest model so you don't have to section it in the view. Then create the section view.
Good luck

I don't think memory management has nothing to do with the X. I am making some test win2000 / XP (2/4gig).
I had memory error, yes but not a single X.
Usually the X comes when 1,or more ;) file is corrupted. The user needs to clean the file, force update on solid. We have plenty of V4 file like that.
R14 should give a report when a view creating failed, I should make some test to see if we can find the name of the corrupted file from this report.

Thanks for your support
RE: Catia V5 drafting view error
I had the same problem in R13SP6. Sometimes, installing new SP solves this problem. I've installed SP7 then I just updated my drw. No more red x. J8-)
