Constraints missing in Part-Environment
Constraints missing in Part-Environment
(OP)
Hey folks,
I very much hope you can help me.
Since yesterday, Catia (V5R19SP2, P2) decided to not show any constraints (except for bracketed-out references) while in the part environment. Even if I add new constraints, say for example a single point in reference to some existing edges, it shows the constraints while placing the point, but after that, it hides them completely and saves the point via H/V/X/Y/Z coordinates (see screenshot, sorry for it being german ;) ). The "constraints" (german: "Bedingungen") subtree is missing completely, except for when I generate a new referencing constraint, but it then only shows the new reference, nothing else. Formulas ("Beziehungen") still exist, and they do seem to link constraints.
Note though that the constraints in Assembly mode still work like a charm.
I already tried:
- restarting Catia and the computer itself
- enabling displaying options in Tools/Options/General and Infrastructure, though I didn't disable them in the first place
- deleting CATSettings so it reestablishes them
- reinstalling Catia from scratch
Does anybody have any idea on how to change this back to normal behaviour? I'm completely out of ideas and quite frustrated by now :(
Thank you in advance!

RE: Constraints missing in Part-Environment
What exactly constraints do you expect to see? The point you've just created is a 3D point defined, probably, on a plane. The parameters defining its position are not Constraints but H/V/X/Y/Z. I am confused.
On the other hand, doing the same point in Sketcher and constraining it, would trigger the creation of constraints in the tree (but they would be UNDER you sketch).

I think what you need is a refresh on CATIA 'Sketcher' and 'Wireframe and Surface' workbenches.
Imho, this 'bug' is not real.
